Visiting Khan El-Khalili




Not far from home,
about half an hour drive,
we can walk the narrow streets 
of Khan El-Khalili.


 It is still the morning hours,
the water is from scrubbing the streets.


It is a very old part of Cairo,
it dates back to year 1382,
a colorful bazaar district,


with hundreds of little stores.


The owners
very willing to show us
their merchandise.






Many are still doing 
various traditional craft. 


There is a lot that catch ones eyes,
or for the above picture,
also the nose...
Dried spices in colorful bags.

 
These days there are not a lot of visitors,
so the shop owners
are working hard for the money.


We come here, again and again.
This area has a very special feel,
and we tend to discover something new every time.

Thanks for tagging along!

Fine bilder. Spennendes å se bilder fra en, for meg, ukjent verdensdel.
