Swap the glamorous boutiques of Rodeo Drive for the labyrinthine Khan El-Khalili souk. Revel in the excitement of this colourful and chaotic 14^th century market, and try your hand at haggling like a local for spices, trinkets and perfumes. Finish the experience with an Egyptian tea in one of the bazaar’s cafes.
