Khan el Khalili bazaar is a tourist must-do, but considering the narrow streets and individual interests, this is a must-do in pairs or very small groups. This fascinating shopping area, arguably the world's best souk [way better than Fez or Marrakesh] and filled with a huge range of wonderful goodies as well as terrible neo-Nefertiti trash would be a disaster in a sluggish herd of tat-grazers. Escape! And no, it's not dangerous.
Some of the better items are: gold and silver jewellery, glassware, leather, rugs, lamps, cotton clothes, and spices.
