This walking tour is a must-see for anyone interested in experiencing the vibrant culture of Egypt and authentic feel of the markets in Cairo, Egypt.
Join me on this journey through some of my favourite markets in Cairo, and discover the hidden gems that make this city so unique. With me you'll get to experience the sights, sounds, and smells of a true Egyptian market, with endless vendors selling everything from tobacco and cigarettes, fresh cut meats, fish and seafood, textiles, furniture, and traditional handicrafts -- calling out to customers and bargaining over prices, all inside a near endless street completely separate, yet all too connected to the city outside.

Welcome to our walking tour of the day markets in downtown Cairo! In this video, we'll take you on a journey through the vibrant streets of Abdeen neighbourhood, where we'll explore some of the most fascinating markets in the city.
Our tour starts in the bustling electrical market, where you can find all kinds of electronics, from household appliances to cell phones and accessories. The sights and sounds of this market are truly unique, as vendors compete for customers' attention and haggle over prices.
As we make our way deeper into the inner streets, we'll discover a hidden gem: a classical arcade filled with a few old shops and and quite a view of the city outside. These moments give us a chance to immerse ourselves in the history of these markets within the authentic atmosphere of Cairo experiencing the local culture truly up close.
Next, we'll head up Abd El-Khaleq Tahrwat Street onto Ramses Street towards the iconic Al Fath Mosque, passing by a variety of markets that are open in the area. You'll see merchants selling everything from clothing and shoes to fresh produce and spices, but here they focus on tools, parts, and construction tools.
From here, we finally, venture into the bustling local markets around Kamel Sedki Street. Sometimes known simply as Cairo Market, here, you'll find a wide variety of goods, ranging all the way from tonnes of tobacco and cigarettes, fresh cut meats, fish and seafood, textiles, furniture, and traditional handicrafts.
