If you want to buy some general items, try the Ramses Hilton Mall. This mall sells casual clothes, shoes, home items, and jewelry. On the top floor you'll find a cinema and billiards.
The Khan al-Kahlili market is a fun experience for both shopping and people gazing. The hustle of the vendors is unrelenting, and the awe of the foreigners and nonchalant attitude of the locals is so contrasting and real, that you'll want to spend more time here than allotted.
The Egypt Crafts Center is a great place to buy regional items. Some of these items include hand-made paper from Mugattam, Bedouin beadwork and rugs, embroidery from Sinai, and Egyptian shawls.
To buy jewelry and traditional Bedouin items, the hidden Nomad shop is the place to go to. Some items include Yemeni silver jewelry, Egyptian baskets, and elaborate tablecloths and cushion covers, and some dresses. This place is so undercover that you need to ring the doorbell to enter.
The best place to buy unique items and souvenirs is in Islamic Cairo at the market Khan al-Khalili. Some great finds in this market include jewelry, painted papyrus scrolls, gellibayas (long robes), silks, leather, brass and copper items, and herbs and spices. Perfume is also a good purchase, especially because many French perfumes get their supplies from Egypt. If you want to buy perfumes or pure essential oils, go to the Perfume Bazaar area.
