Khan el-Khalili is a bustling souk located in Cairo's bazaar district, offering a wide array of souvenirs, crafts, jewelry, clothing, and spices. Despite its touristy nature and the persistent calls to browse the merchandise, a visit to this historic market is an essential part of experiencing Cairo. The winding alleys are filled with enticing items such as incense sticks, tea cups, and mini hookahs.
Khan el-Khalili Bazaar is Cairo’s most famous and vibrant market, full of colors, scents, and sounds. Wandering through its narrow alleys, you can find everything from spices, perfumes, and traditional crafts to jewelry, textiles, and souvenirs. This is a war field of bargaining.
The market is lively and bustling, offering an authentic taste of Egyptian daily life and culture. Don’t miss the chance to enjoy a traditional cup of tea or coffee at one of the historic cafés tucked inside the bazaar. A must-visit for shopping, photography, and experiencing local atmosphere.

Nice view, good for just visiting but everything here might charge you over price like more than three times from normal if you are not Egyptian. Our guide recommend us to only buy things from the government shop beside the oldest church in Cairo, it's reasonable price there.
Visited most famous and very oldest market in the world. Best place to buy lot of Egyptian souvenir but bit costly.
Best time to visit - from Evening to night.
Every traveller should visit the busseling bazaar. Make sure you have enough money to buy beautiful souvenirs from your travel. Also ensure you bargain with the vendors as this is a normal practice and fun once you get the hang of it.
Quite the experience. Beautiful vendor stalls and lots of little hooka lounges and tea shops. Would have been alot nicer if you weren't constantly being harassed by the salesmen constantly. Makes it hard to appreciate the place. Pretty cool shopping spot nonetheless. Best to not talk to anyone unless you actually want to buy something..
A must-visit place when visiting Egypt to really experience the culture. We were shown around initially by a local guide who talked to us about the history and showed us some of the landmarks around the market. We were then given some free time to explore on our own.
It definitely can be very overwhelming especially for females on their own or in small female only groups. Be prepared to be called ‘Shakira’ a lot, and for vendors to be shouting for you to come in. I didn’t find them too in your face if you didn’t look their way. Just politely shake your head or say no and carry on walking. If you went in they often didn’t take no for an answer and you had to just leave if you didn’t see anything you wanted. It went against my ‘Britishness’ but I was told later that that is what everyone does if they don’t want to buy.
Personally I didn’t buy anything as I did struggle to find anything authentically Egyptian in the shops I visited, and I did want something that wasn’t shipped in from elsewhere and sold at a premium. (I was trying to find a wood or stone carved statue of the cat god Bastet and at one point had a vendor trying to insist an obviously resin version was real Amber despite it being bright pink and weighing next to nothing.)
I think if I’d had longer to look around I’d have found something I was happy with but overall it was a great experience just wandering around and taking in the sights, sounds and delicious food smells of the place.
Husting and bustling with people, Khan Ek Khaili is an extensive market place which is full of shops exclusively for the tourists. The shops are filled with gift items including figures of ancient egyptian rulers , souvenirs and lots of items that are unique to Egypt. However, tourists need to be vigilant while exploring this vast area. The shops will pursue to buy their items and they are very convincing. They have some methods to get you manipulated into their web of words. 😁😁
Although, the place is heavily crowded, it is recommended to visit this place around evening to feel tbe colourful vibrance of this place.
Do not expect the same experience you see on Instagram and TikTok. This is a highly busy area. It is a lively market with a lot to buy with cheap prices. There are many different small streets to walk down. Cramped spaces and many tourists so be patient. Getting in and out could take some time as traffic is always busy.

Shopping mall
The First Mall, located near the Four Seasons Hotel in Giza, is a glamorous destination for luxury shopping and dining. This upscale mall features elegant boutiques offering expensive international designer fashion from brands like Versace, Bvlgari, and Aigner. For those seeking modern Egyptian handicrafts, Souk al-Fustat in Coptic Cairo is an ideal alternative to traditional souks.
Amazing classy atmosphere, and nice coffe shopes. I like it
Mohamed A — Google review
Not that's. Only very casual shops. Restaurants are just ok. Don't bother yourself to go there. The surrendering is not interesting.
The mall is next to the Four Seasons Hotel. The mall is not big. Not enough shopping stores but it is beautiful inside. It looks expensive and classy inside, securities are everywhere. We only went to the orange branch and then had coffee, then left. I don't see myself coming back here though, unless I need to go back to the orange branch here then I will go.
Upscale mall geared toward westerners. Decent selection of stores for visitors and locals. There is an ATM and staffed bank branch.
Clothing for men, women, and children in western style and some Egyptian. Several stores selling jewelry, eyewear, accessories, gifts, and watches.
Prices reflect the higher-end merchandise.
Service and food at the restaurant on the main floor are excellent. Not fine dining but good quality by caring, attentive people.
Most of the shops closed. The remaining ones are not enough for a good shopping experience. The mall has a big place in the center for drinks and eating with good quality of food but very expensive. The blue ceiling with clouds gives the place a unique atmosphere. Service is not good
Nice mall, mid- to high-end shops, never seemed very busy the evenings we were there.
We stayed at the Four Seasons first residence and had access to the First Mall from the ground floor. The cafe and bakery was absolutely delicious with the freshest coffee and pastries. Security was top notch, If you are in Cairo swing by and have some fun with the family!
Its nice and small place and have a coffee shop in the middle

Shopping mall
Arkadia Mall is a large, low-key shopping mall in Cairo. It has a wide variety of shops, as well as an arcade with games for kids. The mall suffered serious damage during the 2011 Egyptian Revolution, but has since been rebuilt and reopened.
I recently visited Arkeda Mall and had an exceptional experience that truly exceeded my expectations. The mall’s modern design, spacious layout, and inviting atmosphere make it an ideal destination for both shopping and leisure.
One of the highlights of my visit was El Omda Dresses Shop. The store offers an impressive collection of dresses, ranging from elegant evening wear to chic casual styles. The quality and variety of the designs really cater to diverse tastes, and the staff were both friendly and knowledgeable, helping me find the perfect outfit with ease.
I also want to give a special shout-out to Mr. Sherif, the mall manager, who handled a parking issue with remarkable professionalism. His swift and effective resolution of the problem ensured a smooth and hassle-free experience for all visitors. It’s clear that customer satisfaction is a top priority at Arkeda Mall, and Mr. Sherif’s dedication made a significant difference during my visit.
Overall, Arkeda Mall, combined with the excellent offerings at El Omda Dresses Shop, provides a top-notch shopping experience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for quality shopping, attentive service, and a welcoming environment.

The mall itself is ok but the 4th floor for commercial offices has a terrible management. In fact almost 90% of the offices are vacant. It is a pity as it could have been an excellent location to rent. My advice is to replace the whole management with a more professional one.
Half of the shops are closed.the place is great and prices are good and slightly negotiable in most of the shops.
Escalators are half on.
The design is great.
Only problem that the fun planet lacks of personal hygiene and cleaning
The staff at the kids playground lacks of smile
To build a good business you need cleanliness and smiles.
Some years ago, that was one of the best shopping malls out there, but after 2011, it became much less than before, but after its renewal, it became fairly good. there are some good shops for cloths, accessories, furniture & more! Some banks are there too like Ahly national bank & CIB. There is a food court are in the 3rd floor, where you can have good food on the nile river scene! And there is a cafe too in the ground floor! All in all, it is an average fairly good mall, where you can have some good time with friends or family!
As a tourist, it was good to see that this mall had a grocery store on the lower floor. Also, as a person who caught a cold during my visit, it was good to see that it also had a pharmacy right before the security checkpoint at the entrance.
Pretty ordinary, small and inconvenient mall. Very few places to eat. Only few recognizable brands to shop.
It's good shopping mall but looks too quiet if you compare it with other shopping malls & also there is no international brands
Large mall with a few stores opened
Have a beautiful location besides Nile City Towers
Having a private underground garage costs you 30 pounds for first hour and 20 per hour
6th floor is the best one, as my child used to play in the kids play park area
Ground floor have Alnasr shopping center, its amazing place to buy your clothes and your kids toys

Cairopolitan is a unique boutique located in a charming neighborhood of Cairo. The store features an array of one-of-a-kind items, from vibrant prints by emerging Egyptian artists to novelty items like a pencil sharpener shaped like the Ibn Tulun Mosque. All products are designed and made in their workshop next door, showcasing Egyptian and Arab references. Visitors praise the high quality of the products and the helpfulness of the staff.
A place full of Art highly recommended and i literally visit it each time i visit egypt .. keep the creativity up 🤍
Bayan M — Google review
Nicely setup shop with clever cultural Egyptian tokens and pieces. As others said prices of items are on higher end (eg. 750 egp for simple T-shirts with some creative design). Area around the store really doesn’t have anything, it’s more like a neighborhood (eg. Missing Shops / restaurants), so it’s not a place to continue to walk and see other things. Wish they sold comic books / graphic novels in English and more individual products designed by various artists (for independent artists they only had posters and stickers… not creative products designed & produced by them).
A great selection of souvenirs, posters, and all things related to Arab culture and Cairo specifically. Some items are a bit overpriced, and unfortunately, some of the best pieces were out of stock. Still, I managed to pick up some postcards and a beautiful book, so it was worth the visit
Cute products horrible quality! Bought a bag, used it for a day the straps started falling apart almost immediately, ask the shop for a change or repair and they send me to a tailor to fix it by myself and at my own expense. In summary horrible quality and worst service.
It's very overpriced for an original Egyptian local brand. I guess it's made for foreigners more and only a fridge magnet cost 200 pounds!!
Yet the vibes are good and welcoming staff also. The idea of the store is creative and unique but I wish they considered the prices more.
I was able to go to the sister store in Giza. Loved everything!
Cool place to buy prints as gifts
and make your house colorful and way cooler.
I did like the art and options. However, I do agree with others that the prices are steep. I know it’s kind of a coop with artists selling their work, but it felt quite expensive to me.

Oum El Dounia Gallery, located near Tahrir Square in Cairo, is a renowned shop offering unique Egyptian crafts and handmade gifts. The store is known for its collection of Bedouin jewelry and unusual trinkets, as well as themed items related to the nearby Tahrir Square. Visitors praise the friendly staff and reasonable prices, making it a must-visit landmark in downtown Cairo. Customers appreciate the cozy atmosphere and the view of Tahrir Place from the balcony.
This is an amazing store. Everything in it is beautiful and of very nice quality. At first, we didn’t see the entrance; you have to look into an entryway to see the sign, and it’s up a flight of stairs. From there, you ring the bell to enter. So worth the little extra attention to locate it! I bought beautiful jewelry, clothing, cards, and wooden platters. Highly recommend!

Service is really nice. And I like that the sales persons do not push to purchase. They offered a small basket and a drink when I started picking up objects. And I found exactly what I was looking for. Great location. AC inside the shop. Great range of objects for sale. Best for authentic craftsmanship objects from Egypt and the region.
One of the best stores. Prices are readonable, with a variety of products. All hand made. Must visit when in Cairo.
On a major road. But old school entrance is hard to spot under scaffolding. Press doorbell on first floor.
Not a "gallery" as such, as an outlet for local handicrafts . Not cheap, but quality products. Francophone, but use English too.
If in the area, and wanting better than "tat" - pop in , visit.
Really nice local shop for buying unique gifts for your friends. The textiles are high quality and the staffs were really helpful.
Beautiful hand craft from all over Egypt. Not super cheap of course, but for a good cause.
Hidden gem 💎
The store has a unique collection of handmade items from all over Egypt, including Sinai, Siwa, and Saint Catherine. Ask the owner to give you a tour (if she hasn't already offered you a refreshment as soon as you walked in, which she will ☺️)
Insider tip: look for the papier-mâché jewelry section, and get you a pair of blown glass shot glasses 🥃❣️🥃
Amazing shop, full of handmade products! The staff is really friendly and knowledgeable about the story behind each piece. Great place to buy gifts for friends, family or yourself, can't recommend enough

Caravanserai is a renowned furniture and home decor store with two showrooms in Zamalek. The flagship showroom on Ahmed Heshmat is designed like a heritage home and offers a wide range of Egyptian-made furniture, artworks, and light installations. Meanwhile, the gift shop on Mohammed Maraashly features travel-friendly items such as brass lampshades, wooden serving plates, and beautifully glazed ceramic mugs.
I visited for the first time all three branches of Caravanserai in Zamalek, as recommended by a friend. I have to say that I was really impressed by the exquisite taste of each and every piece displayed, the furniture, lighting units, as well as home accessories.

Lovely things but very expensive !
But if you need some original things you may find affordable items . Got few and love it !
Excellent brass accessories and wood furniture, a must visit for home decor. Certainly pricey but worth the uniqueness and high quality.
Very pricey, but unique furniture store, they did the same mistake mixing indian with middle eastern style, but who cares as final customer doesn't bother and find their collections are good.
Probably cheaper to buy an actual caravan than furniture from here, but given that’s an unlikely trade off scenario, then go ahead and embrace this stylish store.
One of the gems in Zamalek. If u like arabian style /moroccan / indian / wood work and decor this is your heaven.
good assortment of decorations.
the furniture did not impress me.
Extremely well designed lighting units, furniture, & home accessories...

Sabil-Kuttab of Abdel Rahman Katkhuda, also known as Sharia Al Muizz, is a historic thoroughfare in Cairo that was once bustling with storytellers, entertainers, and food stalls. The area just north of Khan Al Khalili's gold district, called Bein Al Qasreen, showcases impressive Mamluk complexes with stunning minarets and domes. Sabil Qutab is a remarkable two-tiered square structure blending Mamluk and Ottoman architecture.
Sapil Abd al-Rahman Katkhuda, which is surmounted by a place for the memorization of children, the Qur'an, known as the book, is located in a street intersection between Kasserine (Al Moez Street) and Timbuksha in the Al-Nahhasin area.
Prince Abd al-Rahman bin Hassan Gawish al-Qazdagli, "as a servant of Egypt, that is, the governor of Egypt." He was known as Abd al-Rahman, as a servant of the Mamluks during the era of Ali Bey al-Kabir, and he was appointed, after he was included in military positions until he became in charge of the army. In 1737 AD he was promoted to the rank of Gawish, then Bash Gawish, Ali Bek al-Kabir exiled him for thirteen years, then returned in 1776 AD, and he died shortly after, when he was seventy years old in 1776 CE and was buried in his mausoleum at the Al-Azhar Mosque.
Prince Abdel-Rahman Ktkhuda was one of the greatest sponsors of the architectural movement during the Ottoman era, and it was perhaps the most active in the history of Cairo as a whole, and many traces bearing his name and his works increased in building Al-Azhar, which is almost half of the roofed part on the qiblah side alone and its increase is higher than the land of the old mosque and has There is a mihrab, and he built the lighthouse of Al-Azhar, which is in the southeastern corner of Al-Azhar at the door of Upper Egypt, which is to the right of the interior, and to the left of the tomb of Abdul-Rahman as a line that the lighthouse overlooks. Also, it is suitable for many scenes, including the scene of Prince Othman, such as Takhadeh Al-Qazdogali.
This building is of special artistic importance, as it is an independent group that contains a path and writers in which many of the masterpieces of Islamic art are represented, especially in the Ottoman era. The building represents the style of the three-way avenues, and it takes the form in which the Mamluk and Ottoman styles blend together. The horizontal projection consists of a path topped by a book and below it a water tank that connects these levels with an inner staircase.
The Sabil room consists of a square area containing each of its southeastern, southwestern, and northwestern sides. Three entries are located by each entry held by a semi-circular knot. Each mesh entry contains a casting of copper casting and a rectangular marble basin window, while the northeastern side contains the entrance door to the Sabil room. From the darkness is adjacent to a wall-mounted cupboard above a window that overlooks the ladder leading to the book. The way walls are covered with impressive assemblies of Ottoman-style ceramic tiles and the most important characteristic of them is that they include a ceramic plate representing the noble Kaaba.
And the ceiling of the sublimation room is woody with colorful motifs consisting of stellar dishes and their parts, and is based on the stuccoed and mediterranean cornice that is not extended.
As for the book, the path is raised above the path, and it is reached from the ladder in front of the darkness, and it consists of a square area for each of its southeastern and exotic southern and northwestern ribs. The book has a wooden ceiling with colorful decorations.
Behind the three stone pavements, there is a corridor with a wooden ceiling with the same previous decorations. This corridor has three facades, each of which is a wooden arcade consisting of five semicircular arches centered on wooden columns. Below these three wooden facades is a veil of sculpted wood surmounted by a row of lacquers.

Sabil-Kuttab of Abdel Rahman Katkhuda is a remarkable example of 18th-century Ottoman architecture in Cairo. This historic complex combines a public fountain (sabil) with a traditional elementary school (kuttab), reflecting both civic and educational functions of the period.
The structure features beautifully carved stonework, elegant arches, and intricate decorative details that highlight the craftsmanship of its era. Visitors can appreciate the harmonious design, the inscriptions, and the ornamental features that make it a visually striking landmark.
The site offers a peaceful and educational experience, showcasing the social and cultural heritage of Cairo. It is particularly appealing to history enthusiasts, architecture lovers, and anyone interested in the city’s Ottoman-era urban development.

One of the most iconic buildings in Al Moez st. Everyone knows it, every one has seen it and everyone knows where it is. But everyone takes it for granted. Almost no one knows that you can visit the building and go inside. It's beautiful, and at night it is so well lit, it's brilliant.
Usually a Sabil is a place where people were able to drink clean and relatively cold water back then.
Visited Al Moez Street 11 November 2022.
Very nice building. Poor signage for the tourist. No idea where the entrance is/was.
Wait.. this is not just a wondrful historical place.. this is a symbol for Egypt giving spirit .. Welcoming attitude and great atmosphere .. enjoy walking through the most ancient street in egypt ALMOEEZ lasted for 1040 years and have a nice Egyptian food especially grilled corn.

Sabil-Kuttab of Abd al-Rahman Katkhuda (Arabic: سبيل وكتاب عبدالرحمن كتخدا) is a historic monument in the historic district of Cairo, Egypt. It comprises a public fountain or sabil, an elementary Quran school or kuttab, and an adjacent residential wing.[citation needed] A prime example of Egyptian architecture of its time, it was commissioned in 1744 by Abd al-Rahman Katkhuda, a local official who was a prominent patron of architecture.

Souq El Fustat is located near the Roman-era church, Mosque of Amr Ibn Alas, and Ben Ezra Synagogue. It's a market dedicated to preserving identity and promoting tourism through a variety of handicrafts and art. The souk houses galleries showcasing crafts like crochet art, batik printing, leatherwork, woodwork, glassware, soap making, natural oils, oil paintings, ceramics, and other handmade arts.
Loved shopping here! A place you can take your time and shop without pressure, I found Egyptian-made handicrafts that I hadn't seen elsewhere. Super friendly, one store even offered me tea _after_ I had bought something. If you're visiting Coptic Cairo then you really shouldn't miss this souk, and if you're not visiting Coptic Cairo, it's worth the excursion.

This is one of the beautiful markets you can visit to buy a good quality of handmade products. You'll find many shops selling different things. The shops are elegant and colorful. You can just walk around without buying anything. There's a restaurant as well if you'd like to eat or drink something and just rest for a bit there.
Lovely, a store from a every egyptian governate with items, gift, souvenirs that this governate is known for. All are truely 100% egyptian handmade. Gifts that are creative, useful, practical and a huge variety with excellent prices. It’s shaded too, so in hot weather you are good to go. All shops accept Visa. They close at 6 pm
This place is really nice! Lots of real hand crafts and we happened to stumble on the place during a three day temporary event with additional stalls in the courtyard.
What a find. Brilliant products made around Egypt and much is in support of woman and kids who are less fortunate than us. Every penny spent counts go after 12 when everything is open
Awesome place and postion but it needs more advertising
This place is a tourist trap. Despite that you can find good products as souvenirs. There is one shop though, I want to warn everyone. It is run buy a woman that sells hands crafted jewellery, but it is just made with cheap materials. She will try to rip you off so be careful. She wears glasses and speaks a bit of English. Don't buy from her since I was told later that the prices she charged were very high and the quality of her work was very low. She seems nice but she's a scammer.

Market
El Ataba market is a bustling and massive local market where you won't find many tourists. The fabric section, located on Tarpea area, El ashar Street, boasts over 200 stands/stores offering a wide variety of fabrics for tailor-made suits. While the market offers good quality goods at cheap prices, it can be highly crowded and chaotic. Visitors are advised to take care of their belongings and be prepared to bargain.
Ataba is a fantastic place to find unique, handmade items at great prices. I recently bought some beautiful handmade lamps, baskets, and table mats made from natural materials, all in a charming Boho style. What really stands out is the incredible value—these same items would easily cost three times more in art galleries or upscale shops. The quality is excellent, and the variety of items gives you plenty to choose from. If you're looking for authentic, artisanal products that reflect Egyptian craftsmanship, Ataba is a hidden gem. I’m really happy with my purchases and would highly recommend it for anyone in search of affordable, stylish decor.

I'm from America. I understand most tourist probably will skip over this and look at it as chaos, but I thought this was absolutely a beautiful place. You cannot replicate the energy that this place gives off. All of the noise and stimulation, and the pace and the heat, all adds up into a one-of-a-kind beautiful moment. The real deal, probably not for everybody but if your state of meditation comes in the form of raw energy, this is your spot.
El Ataba is a MASSIVE market and where the locals shop. I just love it there. Wide variety of goods with good quality and cheap prices. It is highly crowded though. If you go there just please take care of your belongings. If you are looking for the bazaar feel and the small bargain chats it is perfect. But do keep in mind that you are going to get overcharged on small purchases. Basically everything you would need , you will find it there with a multi shops for the same products and reasonable prices for a huge varsity of products so take a day off and go early to have enough time to check the stores.
Nice place for buying bazaar and see local life in Cairo.
Be prepared to be lost in this huge mess of people, traders, cars, and endless stalls. Bargaining is needed. Great buys. I enjoyed the sights and sounds there. Don't bring your kids. Walking over there can be a real hazard.
A unique experience in Cairo. As a couple we took a taxi to the market to find we were almost the only tourist there in a crowd of hundreds . It was difficult to navigate as the streets had many smaller streets branching off and many roads were full of traffic despite the market stalls. Very noisy and chaotic but at no time did we feel unsafe , locals were friendly and on the whole just curious . The stalls sold a variety of goods of poor quality, not the place to get anything special but hubby topped up on socks . Easy to get a taxi roadside back to our hotel. A place to go if you wish to experience true local culture but not good if you have mobility problems or dislike crowded places.
El Ataba is a MASSIVE market and where the locals shop. Don't expect to see other tourists here. I was first overwhelmed by the noise, chaos and shouting (all tourism markets are harmless compared to that) and then asked around, was directed to and then spent hours in the fabric section (Tarpea area, El ashar Street) scouting approximately 200+ stands/stores for the right yellow fabric I wanted for my tailor made suits.
If you aren't into exploring AUTHENTIC Egypt, go to the Khan el-Khalili market which is the super touristy market housed in a beautiful and historic part of town if you're looking for that vibe.
My highlight was meeting fabric trader Shorouktex. He had no business with me (only doing whole rolls, not by the meter) but invited me to join dinner with staff and family even registered his Instagram account just to stay in contact after meeting me...
Every category of goods is sold in different streets, alleys and buildings you need to ask around as there's no directory or other way to know. I'm sure I've only seen 15% of El Ataba in the 5 hours I spent here!
Urban jungle of a market but you will live through and love their shopping experience.

Good mall for clothing, has a gym at the top floor. A few restaurants to choose from.
Talaat Harb Mall is a good spot for budget shopping in downtown Cairo. It offers a variety of clothing, accessories, and electronics at reasonable prices. The location is convenient, right in the heart of the city, making it easily accessible.
However, the mall can get quite crowded, especially on weekends, and the layout feels a bit cramped. The quality of products varies between stores, so it’s best to check carefully before purchasing. If you’re looking for affordable shopping options and don’t mind a bit of searching, it’s worth a visit.
It is very good place, neat and clean, provided with parking. But toilets are limited and only one was available for men in last upper floor
in the middle of the busiest street of the city center of Cairo. a lot of shops inside, especially clothes and shoes.
The worst center i saw in my life. Come and look yourself. Unknown brand, a lot of fake, not interesting assortment, no big choise. Strange, that people reocmend to visit this center.
Good prices and good qualities, but it's only for men's clothes
Typical down town mall in Cairo, crowded , many eating places and shopping options .

My experience with the cinemas is not that great. The screens are a little bit dim and sound is not that great -Not Dolby Atmos-. The place overall is great tho.
The worst service ever zero organization, bunch of crooks in the lobby and the parking
I had to pay double in the parking due to the coin and got lost once I found it. They didn’t want to refund the money. It’s least my worries. It’s just the principle.
Nile City comprises a shopping mall, two office towers and one “V”-shaped five-star hotel tower. The top five floors of the south office tower house luxury.
Open 24 All day of week Good quality of beverages &food
Adjacent Fairmont hotel and has direct access to it. It also has underground secured parking.
There are variety of international brands, shops, and coffeeshops.
Not very open space as shopping malls, and therefore, not very comfortable for those who want to stretch their legs in air conditioned place.
One of the most prestigious business towers in Egypt located in the heart of Cairo on the Nile river.
Twin big towers, hosting a lot of business companies and offices and some food courts, with access to the fairmont hotel and mall too.

Inside hotel. Not that much to shop.. Infact hotel much better place to relax with Nile view restaurant.
Very old vintage style mall.
You can see the real beautiful Cairo wherever you go on this place
Perfect location and view but little unprofessional service and the main attraction is the cinema
This is not a mall in true sense. It is a few shops, a movie theater and 4 restaurants attached to a hotel lobby. Escalators do not work and there is no food court.
This mall is attached to a 5 star hotel. The mall was like a ghost town. Not many interesting shops open. Need to scan bags before coming in. The security was helpful. The hotel cruises only operates Thursday and Friday. Hotel cruise pricing varies daily. But there are other options to sail on Nile river, which the concier can help. The everage price for outsource sailing that the concier will book is around 1300le. The staff is friendly although some of them did struggle communiting in English.
Very nice restaurant. Shops too expensive
It's a very cozy and beautiful, also it got some nice views on the Nile River, also it's absolutely massive from the inside.

Cloth/tent maker's market was a great place to visit. It's very much a locals market, so hardly any tourists, which also means the prices are very fair.
We went during Ramadan, so it's also a great place to buy lights and lanterns and other decorations if you need to.
We also loved the first shop of the street where you can buy beautiful good quality bags for really affordable prices 😊
Highly recommend.
(Translated by Google) Al-Khayamiya Market is a wonderful historical place with handicrafts and ancient mosques. I hope to visit it again, wander around and enjoy it thoroughly without crowding.
It was also noted that the prices were significantly exaggerated due to the large number of reviews from bloggers, whether amateur or paid, which attracted the attention of a huge number of visitors and visitors to the place from segments that I had not seen before.

The Pyramids in Cairo are a must-see, especially at night during the sound and light show. This audio-visual experience not only provides stunning visuals but also shares the intriguing stories behind these ancient marvels. While the area is beautiful, it's important to be cautious of locals trying to overcharge. Visiting in winter is recommended due to scorching summer temperatures. The grandeur of these wonders is truly awe-inspiring and a visit is highly recommended for anyone seeking an unforgettable experience.
It's a real wonder what a man work. How does the Egyptian people had made this wonder can't just imagine its very huge and beautiful but I will suggest every one to visit here in winter beacuse in summer the weather is very hot and beware of shop keepers here all of them are alibaba

It's an absolute beautiful place, the only reason i gave it a 4 star is because the locals there ruin it by trying to suck as much money out of you as possible. Egypt is relatively cheap and reasonably priced but expect to spend around 1,000 Egyptian pounds per person in this place if you wanna do it all. But i guess when it comes down to it, it's one of the 7 wonders, and you only live once.
Indeed one of the wonders on earth that we could felt it when we were there sometime in 2007...awesome!

Beautiful products but a bit too costly. It seems that some of the bags that are sold as leather are rather simile. The ladies who work there have a very poor level of English and do not seem to care about the customers. You can find some of the products (like all the note books) just as beautiful and way less expensive at Khan el Khalili.
Pricey but very unique siwa and Sinai's embroidery and high quality leather goods, especially bags and wallets.

Tourist trap.
Forcefully brought here by the guide.
Did not buy anything.
Extremely high prices.
Similar A4 prints selling for $3USD at Cairo airport.
Khalil market even cheaper.
Tour guide brought us here without telling us as this was not included in our itinerary. Got forced to buy a piece of Arabic art which was very overpriced. Flew home a week later only to see they have given us a different one to the one we had chosen.
Demo was cool but full of hustlers. Like many, brought here on the tour, not request. Get a demo and a cup of tea and then followed around to buy something. Pretty sure we overpaid by 10x, got our names added but super sloppy and ruined the pieces. Not only did they do a conversion rate to our disadvantage but overcharged as well on top of that. Scammed and regretting.
It's our special time in the day ,when we make our clients satisfied ❤️
Please beware!!
Went here without asking to be brought there, but the driver insisted I go in, got totally totally totally RIPPED OFF! Please BEWARE!!
There are other people with the same experience. It’s terrible
Cool place but everything is overpriced like any other places your tour guide will take you. Best bet is to travel Egypt without a tour guide because they will take you places where they get commission on every item you buy. Which is why they try to charge you double. You can find these online and shipped straight from Cairo to your house for cheaper and without the hassle.
We were taken here as part of our tour so they can try and sell us extremely over priced papyrus. Don't fall for it. They make it seem like you're getting an amazing deal but you aren't. It wasn't till we went to the market the next day that we saw some of the exact same calligraphy and art pieces for dirt cheap, Its a big scam framed as an authentic experience

We went there twice when visiting Cairo. It’s a beautiful shops with many beautiful handcraft home goods. The staff also speaks good English so he will give you full introduction for every item.
Every time I go to the store to coordinate my work, I find myself walking around with love and caution, as if I were in a small garden filled with flowers that have the scent of jasmine. I am in love with all those beautiful details made with warmth, love, mastery, and patience.
I loved the collection and how everything is displayed and organized! Wishing they could have world wide shipping!
I visited the shop twice during my two week stay because I found almost all items are high quality with reasonable pricing. Nada was very warm and patient in helping me select gifts for friends and family. Highly recommended!
I visit this shop to buy Malaika linens products which are great as well as the Ramla shoes. The products themselves in general are beautiful. However the staff is very unpleasant. They are disdainful, unprofessional and unhelpful. I see that several other reviews seem to share the same views. Luckily I can get the same products from other boutiques which is what I will do from now on.

We have been to a lot of souvenirs store during Cairo trip and this is the best store with unique and high quality items. Definitely will visit again.
After spending hours in Khan El Khalili and checking countless shops, I believe this shop has the best selection. If you are looking for better quality items not the tacky stuff, this is the place. (there are still tacky, common items of course)
Initial prices are high but haggling is the essence of the whole bazaar. If you are looking for a statue or figurine, go there, pick your piece and name your price.
Bonus point the shopkeeper is patient and he feeds a beautiful gray cat
Buyer BEWARE!!
They flat out ripped us off.
We bought a red granite cat statue which we carefully examined. They took it in the back to “wrap it up” and when we opened it back home it was replaced with a chipped plaster replica. There is no way we would have missed the several chips showing the plaster.
Guy is very rude, unfriendly less patient and the prices are terrible. Treats you like a thief. Buy somewhere else. Thanks for wasting time.

Shopping
Huge, well-known retail complex with brand-name shopping & diverse dining, plus hotels & offices.
Even though it’s always crowded, I absolutely love it because it literally has everything: clothing stores, electronics, accessories, shoes, restaurants, amusement rides, cinema, companies, banks… everything you could think of!
It holds so many beautiful childhood memories.
I love it so much even with all the crowds.

A good place to visit. Must see on your trip to Egypt. A massive mall with a lot to do and see and a variety of restaurants and foods. It has everything you might need and even spots to grab some souvenirs for your trip. On the highest floor you can find the fast food spots. Good for pictrues. A must for the bucket list
A bustling mall with shops, restaurants and higher quality souvenirs. We stopped at D&P perfume counter and got some perfume that Egypt is famous for. There are a lot of selection and great value. Dinner at Bosporus, a delicious Turkish restaurant, was the best meal we had in Egypt.
Best 5 stars Hotel in Cairo near the airport
If you visit Cairo this is the rights choice it’s near the airport and it’s very nice place to enjoy your time . The staff at the front office very helpful especially Mohamed Gamal the Duty Manger. Also the club lounge chiefs are perfect also the staff really I enjoy at the club lounge., I am a Royal Ambassador member they do more than I expect .

I had an unforgettable experience at the hotel. People were so nice to us especially Kyrillos who was really helpful and was always with a smile. Thank you
One of the best malls in Cairo cold environment and variety of shops including some Western style. Nice food courts and clean toilets. Prices are also affordable.
Lift can be really crowded sometimes.
I visited for a quick snack and was pleasantly surprised. The place is clean, stylish, and has a warm atmosphere. The chocolate cake was delicious and the drink refreshing. I’ll definitely be back to try more items from the menu
Its a very attractive place, enjoyable, shopping and get a lot of services , dinning, coffee break.

Market
The camel market is a captivating place with a multitude of camels up for auction. Sellers enlist the services of agents to select the agency through which they will sell their animals. It is common to witness sellers engaging in lively dances and songs, all aimed at drawing attention to their prized camels on offer. A visit to this market promises an exhilarating experience that leaves one in awe.
This is where you can experience how animals are traded. For those touchy in about animal rights dont go. Its a raw experience. Otherwise, I felt very safe and did nice photos. I can not post them as i do not have them un my ohone but camera :-)
Virtyt G — Google review
Very interesting market, you will find Camesl 🐫 brought from Ethiopia, Somalia , Sudan and locally. They sale them in auction. Please if you visit these place be careful because the camels are loose.
The Birqash Camel Market is truly an amazing experience and a must see for anyone who likes to do things off the beaten path. You can experience local than the tourist only. It also one of the biggest camel market. And If you are interested photography the camel market is a wonderful place to visit. My personal recommend with local guide as the place is out from Cairo about 30km away and they don’t know English.
HORROR! DISGUSTING! A hub of animal abuse and violence, camels being beaten up, left wounded, for what?! If you have any human decency, don’t visit this cruelty! This place should be forbidden
Camel market is interesting. Lots of camels and auction style. The sellers hirer agents to sell they chose which agency at the market to sell from. Lots of time sellers dance and sing to draw attention to their camels being sold.
Nice to visit ppl friendly you can make pic and videos & get some experience
A bit hectic, if you look un-Egyptian you will definitely stand out. We were looking to wander the market but were stopped with a 50 pound per person entrance fee, extra 30 for pictures. This may be spottily applied, so take your chances. The herds of camels were impressive
♥♥♥♥♥ I visited this market and it was an awesome day.

Handicraft fair
Tentmakers of Cairo الخيامية is a charming old street filled with traditional tent makers' shops, offering beautifully handcrafted souvenirs. This traditional profession has been passed down through many generations. Visitors can witness the bustling activity and admire the craftsmanship on display. While some may find the prices above budget, it's still a great place to experience the artistry and tradition of these skilled artisans.
Shorter than I imagined but still absolutely worth going. Happy so happy to support their handmade appliqué goods.
Trudy F — Google review
The medieval covered market specializes in appliqué textiles stitched with Pharaonic motifs. Artisans still use 18th-century German scissors and French silk thread. Hidden in back rooms, 19th-century templates for royal pavilions gather dust.
Wonderful to wander through! Brush up on your bargaining skills if you want to purchase, though.
Great place and great craftsmanship! Sadly we did not make any purchase as the pieces we like are all above our budget :(
Very nice place. It is an off beat location for tourists. Please go for it.
Great bustling street selling textile. Lovely to see the Tentmakers doing their thing and welcomed our curious noseying.

A lovely open-air mall located in New Cairo district.(5th settlement)
It’s filled with restaurants, cafes and numerous stores, it has a nice vibe to it and its design is very lovely, a great place for a little hangout, especially in the evening.
Rating: ★★★★★
Downtown Katameya, located in the heart of New Cairo, has become a bustling hub for shopping, dining, and entertainment. As a frequent visitor to this vibrant destination, I am pleased to share my review of Downtown Katameya.
One of the standout features of Downtown Katameya is its impressive selection of shops and boutiques. The mall boasts a diverse range of local and international brands, offering something for everyone. Whether you're in search of high-end fashion, electronics, cosmetics, or home decor, you'll find a wide variety of options to satisfy your shopping cravings. The layout of the mall is well-designed, making it easy to navigate between stores and explore different sections.
In addition to its excellent shopping opportunities, Downtown Katameya also offers a variety of dining options to suit all tastes. From trendy cafes to international cuisine and fast-food chains, the mall has a plethora of restaurants and food outlets to choose from. Whether you're looking for a quick bite or a leisurely dining experience, there are plenty of options available to satisfy your cravings.
Furthermore, Downtown Katameya provides a range of entertainment and leisure activities. The mall features a modern cinema complex, offering the latest blockbuster movies in comfortable theaters. This is a great option for both families and individuals seeking entertainment options. The mall also hosts events and exhibitions, adding to the overall experience and providing a lively atmosphere for visitors.
Downtown Katameya is well-maintained and clean, creating a pleasant shopping environment. The mall's facilities, such as restrooms and seating areas, are well-maintained and easily accessible. The staff members are friendly and attentive, providing assistance when needed.
Parking can sometimes be a challenge during peak hours, as the mall can get crowded. However, efforts have been made to accommodate visitors with multiple parking areas and valet services, which helps alleviate some of the parking issues.
One aspect that could be improved at Downtown Katameya is the availability of seating areas throughout the mall. While there are some seating spots, additional seating options would be beneficial for shoppers who wish to take a break or relax between their shopping endeavors.
In conclusion, Downtown Katameya is a lively and popular destination that offers a diverse range of shopping, dining, and entertainment options. With its impressive selection of stores, diverse dining experiences, and entertainment facilities, it provides a well-rounded experience for visitors. Although parking and seating areas could be improved, the overall atmosphere and offerings of Downtown Katameya make it an enjoyable place to spend time and indulge in retail therapy.
the mall is a good place, not for general shopping, it is suitable if you are looking for furniture and things for your apartment, it consists of 4 buildings connected to each other, restaurants are located outside the buildings. the mall has restaurants, pizza, hamburger, sushi and so on and carrefour in the basement, no kids area, not recommended for family, has private parking
Amazing dinning area and cafeteria with unique wide green view definitely will visit it again and the restaurant i highly recommend ( buffalo burger - peking - star bucks drinks) also an inside shopping area with most famous brands and an entertainment band doing a musical moving show is for sure one of most amazing thing i see 🙈 also the Christmas decorations are out of this world🎄⛄
It's a fine place with several things to do. You can do shopping there but not much of options (clothes), you can also find lot's of jewelry shop their, many restaurants to eat in like peking, buffalo burger, mori sushi, 900 degrees and a lot more. there are several coffee shops to go there like Starbucks, cilantro, Paul and more
Best area to have your outdoor breakfast and Coffee near the fountain, easy to park under the ground. No kids area but they will safe playing around. Plus having all Mobile operator companies to pay your bill or do any issue with tour Sim card.
Just visit this place and you can experience a very nice shopping there 😎👍. You can also take a rest in a lot of restaurants and coffee shops, just relax ☀️🌴

Shopping mall
Genena Mall is a spacious and extensive shopping complex that spans five levels, housing an assortment of stores, a food court, and even an indoor skating arena. On the ground floor, one can find numerous excellent establishments specializing in children's clothing. The third floor is home to a well-situated and uncrowded food court. Overall, this mall offers a pleasant experience with its diverse selection of shops and reasonable prices. Furthermore, it boasts an ice skating facility conveniently located on the ground level.
For some reason, this mall always brings back the early-20s version of me every time I visit—lol.
Ahmed M — Google review
Quite an impressive mall with ice skating rink on the ground level. Crowd with all mainly fashion and apparel stores. A food court on the top most floor, McDonald's and KFC on the 2nd floor. Recommended!
Genena Mall is a popular shopping spot in Nasr City with a good mix of shops, cafés, and entertainment. It’s more casual than the big modern malls, but it offers variety and convenience, including an ice-skating rink that makes it unique for families and kids.
Lots of shops, mediocre quality, relatively high prices. The styles and models of clothes are deteriorating month after month. Low to medium class imported and locally manufactured goods. Visible decline of customer's taste and preference !!
Indeed, this is Cairo's most ancient shopping arcade, making no attempt to vie with the glittering modern edifices that have since arisen. Its interior and very atmosphere are imbued with a certain nostalgic charm. Yet herein lies its peculiar appeal—and, one might argue, its supreme virtue: unadulterated practicality.
It caters to every mundane necessity, housing a collection of haberdasheries for one's daily attire and a variety of victualing establishments where one might procure a modest repast. Let it be known, however, that one should not anticipate haute couture or epicurean dining.
The undisputed triumph of this establishment, however, is its carriage park—a capacious arena where a berth is ever readily available. For those wearied by the urban pandemonium and the perpetual dearth of parking, it is nothing short of a sanctuary. I should heartily commend it to any soul who prizes convenience above the pursuit of luxury.
You'll find more variety in clothes and brands*. Also I like:
✅ New prayer area, clean one. (3rd floor)
✅ I fruit kiosk for ice cream at 3rd floor (recommended)
✅ Ajmal collection for evening dresses
✅ Many Scarf Kiosks
*Better than Abbas El Akkad shops at the moment.
Beautiful mall but quiet empty on stores.
located on the side of a major road in the area of Awl Abbas Street, Masri Jadidah, Cairo Egypt. looks quite clean and comfortable to visit. easy to reach by bus or other car transportation

Moudy A — Google review
The outlet mall is small with a limited variety of shops to buy things. There were two food stores and around 6 clothing outlets. There is a theatre and the theatre was quite nice and clean with air conditioning and good spot lights. Not the best place for shopping but the prices are reasonable.
Small mall considerably didn’t have the mattress store I was looking for.
One of the oldest malls in Nasr city, in Al Nasr st. Close to Rabaa square.
Doesn't have anything but a few tshirts stores and bad dresses
Basic. Has a small Carrefour and a few places to eat downstairs. Mostly clothes.
Didn't like the place npr the vibes off this place

Shopping mall
Very beautiful Open-Air mall as the name suggests with a vast garden and lots of walking paths.
The mall’s design is very lovely, the lighting at night was very nice and not excessive, the place is filled with cafes and restaurants, it basically had everything i could ask for in a mall.
The only problem is that it’s too far from the city center, other than that it’s a great spot to spend your weekend in.
Abdulrahman Q — Google review
easily my favourite mall. the open air concept makes it feel calm and refreshing, and it’s super walkable. it’s almost never crowded, and the whole place is really well maintained, from the landscape to the shops.
there’s a nice variety of restaurants and stores, plus a few indoor areas if it gets too hot. the only downside is that during extreme heat, walking around outside isn’t the best, but on cooler days, it’s perfect.
“Very nice place with great shops and restaurants. Best to visit after sunset, mornings are too hot and sunny.”during this summer
Open Air Mall - Madinaty is a wonderful place to visit and enjoy a full day out. You can find all kinds of shopping there – from clothes and furniture to makeup and more. It’s not just about shopping, though; it’s also a fun destination to relax and spend time. You can stop for sweets, enjoy a nice dinner, or simply take a ride on the tram to explore the area. The atmosphere is clean, modern, and family-friendly, making it enjoyable for both residents and visitors.
I highly recommend Madinaty if you’re looking for a place that combines shopping, dining, and leisure all in one.
Impressive and it exceeded my expectations; very quiet and not so crowded. Excellent scenery and well maintained.
It’s a massive open-air space surrounded by greenery, gardens, and peaceful water features. There are plenty of walking paths, and you can hop on a little train or golf cart to get around. It also has a wide variety of stores and restaurants. And there’s a cinema, and a dedicated area with games and activities for kids.
Open air mall is a very must visit spot but not when it’s very hot, the place is very spacious, super clean, many brands from apparel to glasses to shoes to jewelry to restaurants….. gaming for kids and adults, variety of coffee shops/restaurants.. it’s an amazing experience for kids and adults.
A lot of stores and nice places to eat and drink and look around

It's definitely got a different vibe than that of the rest of malls in cairo. The overall design is an experience by itself. It reminds me of local streets with stalls on both sides, but spacious and modern.
The mall was kinda empty, and most shops haven't opened yet.
Salsabeel G — Google review
When I visited this mall, what I liked and noticed the most was the spacious design and the high ceilings. They create a very open and relaxing atmosphere. The place is beautiful, calm, and well-organized, which made my visit very enjoyable. It’s a lovely spot to walk around, shop, or simply unwind in a peaceful environment.
Family friendly, and a cozy place in all seasons throughout the year. You can have a walk, go to the movies, dine or get your coffee, and definitely shop around in a great atmosphere. I love D5 although it’s 1+ hr away from home🌟
Very nice one story mall with famous brands and shops where you can shop clothes, accessories and food .
Outside the mall there is a huge walk area with many cafes and restaurants, all new and well established brands .
Very nice place for families and youth to enjoy their time .
In feasts and holidays , sometimes they does not allow underage to enter the place .
The place is too crowded in holidays
Loving that it's never way too crowded like other places, have everything you might need from food diversity to shopping
I love going there ..not a wide variety of international brands but the alternative is local brand names... Very high quality ... The amount of shops is enough for me..not too crowded so you don't get overwhelmed... There is an outside area with many cafes and restraunts as well as cinemas...the design of the mall is nice and spacious.. so you never feel it's over crowded... But the prices are high for locals... But not for foreigners who get good value for their dollar given the economic circumstances in Egypt.. I like hanging out there & checking out the creative local brands..it has a chill vibe to it...
District 5 is a unique shopping experience in Cairo that breaks the mold of the typical multi-storey mall.

Despite its size, District 5 manages to maintain a relaxed and uncrowded atmosphere, offering a refreshing sense of comfort while you browse.

The mall also incorporates a lovely outdoor area specifically designed to house gourmet restaurants. This alfresco dining experience is particularly enjoyable during the pleasant months of Cairo's weather.
For entertainment, District 5 offers a state-of-the-art cinema, perfect for catching the latest blockbusters. Grocery shopping is also convenient thanks to the presence of a well-stocked Seoudi supermarket within the mall.

Book store
Art gallery
Nestled in a bustling neighborhood, Lehnert and Landrock Bookshop has been a local fixture for over 90 years. Founded by renowned travel writers and photographers Rudolf Lehnert and Ernst Landrock, the bookshop boasts an extensive collection of English, French, and German books. The duo's captivating photographs of North Africa and the Middle East adorn the shop's art and photography sections.
A beautiful hidden gem with hundreds of photographs of old Egypt.
It's not even a bookshop (although they do have books in different languages).
It's more of a photography museum + shop and a time machine into the past.
To find it ask a guard in a nearby building and show him the photo of the name and he'll show you the way or just climb to the 2nd floor (entrance is on the photos but there is no sign).
When you find it, you'll be rewarded.
PS. I didn't take the attached b&w picture because photography is not allowed but found it online and only attached it to give you an idea of the quality of photographs they exhibit.

A truly wonderful photograph Libarary rich in history a unique books
One of my favorite bookshops in Cairo! Since I found the great book about Johann Sebastian Bach‘s life long ago (in the 90s) it became my safe haven. Great books in both English and German.
This hidden gem in the heart of downtown exposes a glimpses of Egypt long history, post cards inspired by ancient Egypt, the kingdom of Egypt, an artworks, portraits and books captures several lives borders in old Cairo and more. Very helpful staff, and well pricing as well. It's definitely one of my fav places in Cairo ✨️
Hidden gem on the first floor.
Cool vintage postcards and a beautiful collection of photographs of Ancient Egypt.
Perfect for souvenirs and gifts.
Probably the best bookshop in Cairo with great people. An incredible collection of photos by photographers Lehnert and Landrock. If I go back to Cairo, I will definitely visit this bookshop again.
This place is located on the sec floor of the building, just ask the guard they'll guide you. Unfortunately they don't allow photographs here. If you're intrested in old photographs, postcards, souvenirs and German books this place is the right one. I bought myself a few for mementos.
Tried to go to this bookstore at 10 AM, waited 30 minutes and still nobody showed! Thought the google hours might be wrong but they posted on the door that they open at 10 AM as well

Welcome atmosphere, relaxation, shopping, and unique architectural design
Didona F — Google review
The Open Air Mall in Madinaty is a breath of fresh air—literally and figuratively. From the moment you step inside, you’re welcomed by an atmosphere that blends modern retail sophistication with the serenity of open, green spaces. It’s a true lifestyle destination rather than just a place to shop.
What sets this mall apart is its unique design. The open-air concept gives you the feeling of walking through a charming, upscale neighborhood rather than a typical shopping center. The landscaping is beautifully maintained, with wide walkways, fountains, and plenty of shaded seating areas that make it perfect for leisurely strolls or a relaxed day out with family and friends.
The variety of stores is impressive, ranging from global fashion brands and electronics to stylish local boutiques. Dining options are abundant too, offering everything from quick bites to elegant sit-down meals with outdoor seating—ideal for enjoying Egypt’s sunny weather.
It’s also a very family-friendly spot. There’s a vibrant kids’ area, clean facilities, and a strong sense of security, which adds to the peace of mind while shopping or dining.
Whether you’re looking to run errands, catch a movie, sip coffee under the sun, or simply unwind, the Open Air Mall delivers an enjoyable, upscale experience. It’s a standout addition to Madinaty and definitely worth the visit.
Highly recommended! 🌿🛍️
If the goal is to pay, then it is a nice place. However, if the goal is to have fun and spending does not matter, then Open Air is much better. Most of good reviews and pics on google maps is for open air
Very good mall
Close to open at mall
Mae restaurants choice
it's small. however, there are lots of nice places to eat shop at and just walk around in general. there are furniture stores, grocery stores, restaurants and takeout places.
Great mall with plenty of stores and the open air style is refreshing from all the closed capsules that modern malls are. Definitely worth a visit. It's only downside is if you visit it on a hot day so try to go at sunset or at night
The best place u have to visit
Open air
Small mall but good
