Souk is an Arabic word for market place.
Khan el-Khalili Bazaar is the biggest in Cairo. At the bazaar you can buy anything from a
kurti, a traditional dress for women, to jewelry, shoes, pillows, and food.
Note:
Remember to dress appropriately while in the market. It is acceptable to wear what you like as a tourist, but it would be to your best interest to respect Egyptian culture. For women, I would bring something to cover yourself with. A shawl is fine to cover your body. I felt more comfortable with a shawl when I ventured outside the tourist areas.
