Souq al-Fustat

A market street in Historic Cairo

Near the historic Fustat area, this craft-focused market is a useful place to browse Egyptian-made objects, including ceramics, glass, textiles and decorative pieces. It pairs naturally with a visit to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization or the Coptic quarter. Treat it as a slow browse rather than a quick shopping stop, and ask vendors about the makers and materials behind the work.
