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!
