Re: Prices & Paying in Egypt - Advice sought

I don't think there's a lot of bargaining at Mahmoud's or at Raqia Hassan's or Yasser's (the other not-to-miss shops in the Khan). Unless you're buying large quantities and looking for a wholesale deal.

Someone may come along and correct me if I'm remembering wrong...

I can't remember details about pricing, but I'd say expect to pay roughly half what you'd pay over here. I'm sure someone with a better memory will be along shortly.

Yasser especially had a lot of those cute Nancy Ajram galibeyas, and unique dresses and costumes.

Oh, I found they took dollars just fine (preferred them, actually, but they won't take paper money that's torn or worn out), and credit cards.
