The Muski
The shopping street linking Attaba to Khan el-Khalili, where Cairo buys everything.
€ Budget
An artery saturated with shops and stalls, specialised by stretch: fabrics, toys, party goods, haberdashery. It is how you walk to the Khan, and the journey is as interesting as the destination.
The extra bit
Walk it from Attaba towards the Khan: the slope goes down and you reach the souk at the right time of day.
Know before you go
Very dense during the day: a street where you move at walking pace, bag closed and phone away.
