I'm going to Cairo over 3 weeks. A friend of mine told me I could get an old bracelet coated with silver at the Kan bazar. Can anyone recommend a name and/or adress? Please do, my wife will beat me up otherwise :-))) Thanks for your reply John (xs4all.nl)

It's really changed

I have visited Khan el Khalili on previous trips to Egypt and it has changed. Now it's full of "commission boys" who snag you off the street and take you to "their uncle's or cousin's shop" for a good deal. Well, guess what? Those good deals include up to 50% commission for the street boy. Guess who pays that commission? YOU do! BEWARE!!! It's not fun any more. Too bad.
