CAIRO offers an incredible selection of shopping, leisure, culture and nightlife. Shopping ranges from the famous Khan el-Khalili souk, (or bazaar) largely unchanged since the 14th century, to modern air-conditioned centers displaying the latest fashions. All the bounty of the East is here particularly good buys are spices, perfumes, gold, silver, carpets, brass and copperware, leatherwork, glass, ceramics and mashrabiyas. Try some of the famous street markets, like Wekala al-Balaq, for fabrics, including Egyptian cotton, the Tentmakers Bazaar for appliquéwork,
Mohammed Ali Street for musical instruments and, although you probably won't want to buy, the Camel Market makes a fascinating trip.

When you need a break from city life, try a round of golf on the famous Mena House course overlooking the Pyramids, watch the horse racing at the Gezira Club or visit the Zoo and the Botanical Gardens. Take a trip on the Nile in a felucca or ride on horseback from the Giza Pyramids to Sakkara. For a day trip outside Cairo visit Haraniyya village and see the beautiful tapestries and weaving produced by local people. If you wish, you may get away from it all at the top of the Cairo Tower, a modern 187meter-high tower with views of the city from all sides, topped by a revolving restaurant.
Cairo comes alive at night, which is the best time to shop, eat delicious Middle Eastern cuisine, or simply watch the world go by from a pavement cafe. You can dine in a floating restaurant on the Nile, sample an apple-flavored shisha (water pipe) at a coffee shop or see oriental dancers and cabarets at a luxury hotel. The splendid Opera House complex houses several galleries (including the Museum of Modern Art), restaurants and concert halls. Listening to Arabic music under the stars, in the open-air theater, is a magical experience. At El-Ghuriya, in the heart of Islamic Cairo, you can watch folk musicians and whirling dervish dancers. And don't forget the most essential after-dark experience, the Sound and Light show at the Pyramids, a dramatic fusion of light and music recounting the story of antiquity.

Transfer to Khan El Khalili bazaar
Lunch at Naguib Mahfouz restaurant (no alcohol)
Located in the heart of Khan el Kahlili, the restaurant is decorated in the typical Arabic style of the last century. The tables are skillfully ranged, mirrors and pictures on the walls, chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, all this makes dining a very special event. But apart from the main restaurant there are little niches with one or two tables that allow dining in privacy.

The “knowing' traveler sometimes dismisses the Khan el-Khalili as a tourist trap, and indeed, all manner of souvenirs may be purchased there, from statues to 'personalized' cartouches to papyrus art. But the Khan (meaning market) predates tourism to the area and was established in the 14th century. Further, most tourists tend to by souvenirs, and for many items, this is the best and least expensive place to buy them with the most variety. But many things are sold here, and one discovers that the Egyptians are here as well, buying their fabrics and clothes, pots, and
other ordinary household needs. Step into this world by heading west Muski Street from Midan Hussein. Many of the shops for specific goods are clustered along specific streets, or in specific areas. For example, there is the Coppersmith's street. However, this is less true then most guidebooks would have one believe. Many shops, particularly those catering specifically to tourists have a variety of different products.

Khan El Khalili Rally (team building activity)
Group will be divided into teams. Each group will have an English speaking guide and the rally based on that the group will be divided to small groups. Each group will visit sites and special places (shop herbs, a place of art, churches, and special shop for old fashion hats) within the area of Khan El Khalili walking for 1½ hour approx. At the end group will meet together at one of the typical Egyptian café for tea, coffee and water pipe and each team will start to tell the others the most interesting and funny things they saw.
