Family Trip to Khan-i-Khalili

Last weekend we took a family trip to Khan-i-Khalili, the great market in the Old Islamic quarter of Cairo.

 

Khan-i-Khalili is the largest outdoor markets in the world (same claim is made by the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul). We walked around most of the afternoon, shopping in the mahal and ate at the Naguib Mahfouz restaurant. Both girls bought Egyptian scarabs and small stuffed camels.

 

Here are some photos from our trip:
