What souvenirs are sold on excursions in Luxor and Cairo? I mean, what should be bought there and not in the recreation area and the city?

everything that you see in the shops of Hurghada you will find on these excursions. Souvenirs from Luxor and Cairo are cheaper than in the city (of course, not in those shops where the guide will take you). I advise you to take a closer look at the prices in the city and feel free to bargain on excursions :)

They bought silver pendants for a gift with names written in hieroglyphs.
It was inexpensive, one was bought in Luxor, the guide collected applications, the other in Cairo in a jewelry store.
At the first, the places where the hieroglyphs were soldered turned green. The second was presented, maybe still alive. :)

Souvenirs are the same everywhere, the difference is in cost: in the shops where you will be delivered following the excursion, the cost will be higher, and sometimes there is not enough time. The only thing is that when you are on an excursion in Cairo, you will be brought to a papyrus factory and there you can buy real papyrus. A certificate is attached to it, packaged in a beautiful tube. But it costs more.
Although many say that there is no difference in them and where to buy it: there or in shops / bazaars.
But for yourself, to soothe the soul, what they brought was the real one, you can buy it there.

Cutty, about the papyrus: it's there and... banana, I mean, kag ba isn't real. Naturally, cheaper. But a colleague once brought us souvenirs from Ega - bookmarks - so nothing, and you won’t understand, a banana is not a banana)))

If the locals offer figurines (they usually wear them on paper so as not to stain their hands with paint), do not take this painted plastic.))) On excursions to Luxor, they bring onyx stone products to the workshop, etc. they bought cute cat figurines (20 cm high) and a beetle (10x6) were bargained for $40.

Please, honey. I want to help everyone - and especially you :))
I fit the pyramids and Luxor in one of my Egyptian trips (so far it was the only one). I rowed everything I could)))))) Well, this is according to the principle "Ride - and see as much as possible". After all, there are so many countries, and life is so short!

Yes, there was such a joke in Luxor: they lead you from some object, and there are a lot of sellers, they run after you, offer some kind of souvenir cat and shout: "One pound! One pound!" FUCK!!! Do not be fooled and do not stop - otherwise the price of a cat immediately rises sharply to almost $ 50! :))) They lie to make you stop-- and then press on. I “bought” just like that, stopped, pulled out 1 pound, stupid - so then I barely unhooked it, they grab it right by the hands, they get confused between the legs, they don’t let me even take a step! Not fatal, of course, this little theater can be seen, but only ONCE - why would you waste precious time and then catch up with the guide, and not hear all the interesting things? The Arabs are affected by the word "Halas!" ("That's enough") - if you say it with a frowning formidable look, making a better face - it takes on the connotation of the word "Fuck off!" :)))

Wow, Oksana, friends, I'm building my own demeanor, most of which is to keep the defense! I understand them, but myself, and my wallet too!!!
