Egypt | 'One Thousand and One Nights' in Khalili

The Khalili market in Cairo, with a history of 700 years, is a symbol of Cairo's ancient culture and Oriental Islamic culture. I strolled around, went to the famous arch to check in, and experienced the 'One Thousand and One Nights'. Many things are indeed very Yiwu-like, which our compatriots clearly disdain, but there are also many local Egyptian specialty products: For example, as shown in picture 9, the small Egyptian perfume bottles are basically 30 on the 🍑, and the slightly nicer ones are 50 each. I looked at one or two shops that day, and the large ones were 30 to 50 Egyptian pounds, which is about 10 RMB, and it's really worth buying. If you buy 5-10, you will get a box to pack them in, and it should be fine if you wrap them well yourself. Especially since I bought several bottles of perfume that day, I wanted to divide them up and give them away as gifts. When I came back to the 🍑, I wanted to buy perfume bottles with dip sticks, which were mostly Dubai style. Moreover, I never saw such cheap perfume bottles again later... Additionally, items like papyrus and fridge magnets, if you go to Luxor, you will definitely find cheaper ones, but if you are with a tour group, Khalili is about the same.
