Re: Prices & Paying in Egypt - Advice sought

Yes I don't bother with Yasser.I saw a great shamadan there in December and he would not sell it me-saying it was an order-well I was back there in Feb and it was still there-whats going on??Plus it takes forever to find anything and quality is poor.Mahmouds is great to wander round but I notice you don't get offered a drink anymore-still i always find something good here.Like the others have said he does n't bargain and charges you for using a credit card.I'd be very wary of using a credit card anywhere else in the Khan el Khalili. When I was there in Feb Eman was charging about $440 a costume and Pharonics slightly more at $460. I love Hanans she had some great bargain bra and belt sets for around $40 and bargain galabeas made fromglittery stretchy fabric for around the same price.
