Today I made it to Khan Khalili, the famous suq in the old islamic quarter. Last time I strolled only through the streets of the residential area and visited the mosques. This time we went there for shopping, but I spare you the details of our bargain experiments. Let's say, we got some reduction... Besides we strolled around a little and of course ended up in a mosque again - it was quiet, cool and just wonderful.

 The oldest coffeeshop of the khan, Fishawi, may be famous, but it does not really break with the hustle and bustle of the suq. It is cramped with tourists taking pictures (just like me...), cats slinking around, a few locals watching the scene with ironic looks and every minute another hawker passes your table, offering everything, books, carpets, toys, necklaces, everything! And all-around there is the noise. Still, it's fun and worth to see.

and finally: a cup of coffee, tea and water.
