2. Figurines of cats
3. Egyptian cotton T-shirts
4. Hookah and refills for it
5. Textiles which one took and which is better
6. Arafatki
7. Other small souvenirs (souvenir plates, pyramids, magnets, etc.)

Or advise what can be brought inexpensively and on trifles. At home, you need to "souvenir" 20-30 people, that's what you advise to dial inexpensively.

1. If you buy, then only hibiscus. See that they do not slip garbage, the flowers must be intact. It is better to buy in supermarkets with a fixed price.
2. No need to buy garbage.
3. In 9 stores out of 10 "Egyptian" T-shirts are made in China.
4. For many years, hookahs have not been allowed to be carried in hand luggage and you will have to pack a glass flask in a suitcase. Are you sure you will use it when you get home? For those who already have a hookah, bring some tobaccos. The most delicious in yellow boxes.
5. See item 3. A good bed made of real cotton or quality bamboo towels will cost the same as ours.
6. To whom and why? There are plenty of them in our markets.
7. Take strawberries, mangoes and Egyptian medicines as souvenirs.

t-shirts with embroidery --- beautiful fish, pyramids, camels, cotton LUSA factory, Egypt, price 4-7 dollars, cotton towels also with beautiful embroidery --- Nefertiti and so on, 50 by 1.40 cm, 5 dollars each, sets of small towels 4pcs- ---7-8dol, I took Bedouin tea--100g--2dol, guava, hibiscus and lemongrass ---1dol each. They also have Helba yellow tea --- fenugreek seeds, medicinal, we took it during the free excursions at their factory in the original packaging 1kg - 12 dollars, and if you take 2 kg, then the 3rd one is a gift, we cooperated, it turned out to be 8 dollars. 100g. There is a large selection of souvenirs, we bought another watch for 5 dollars, a beautiful forged bracelet with small colored stones, they go fine. I brought a hookah, put a flask in a suitcase with things, it didn’t break, I took 15 dollars at the hotel, my son already gave it to a friend, coconut tobacco and an apple 1 dollar per pack, in general I don’t understand tobacco. There are sweets --- halvah with nuts, dates, etc. Well, bargain, of course, they are inferior.

the most loyal prices on the OLD Market and in NABKA, the store is called George Clooney, viber +201090161408, write to him, send a minibus to your hotel for free, save money and take him back. Check the towels in the sets, they can be applied in different sizes.

4. Good hookah (normal high, not souvenir) I would advise buying at home: the price is almost the same, and the problem of transportation from Egypt is removed. For 40-50 bucks you can buy a decent hookah both in Egypt and here. $20 medium or small
they will sell it, but what is the point in such a hookah? The hookah should be under a meter high, the rest is just pampering for souvenirs. Al Fakher and Nakhla tobaccos are good, but you can buy them at home for almost the same price.
I join the advice to bring something that you can’t buy at home, for example, ripe fruit.

The season of the local delicious mango has long passed, and the imported one is not the same style) Strawberries are leaving, already tasteless. Now physalis and dates
Children's T-shirts approx 5 dollars, adults 7-10, knitted suits 35-50, kangaroos 20-30 (prices depending on quality). Bargain, watch made in egypt
In the dutik of the port, prices of supermarkets, there is any small thing. Tobacco for hookah and hibiscus only we take there
аватар 17061955
Bought Hibiscus (large) package - $5
Arafats traded for $1
аватар poruol1111
Arafatki from 1 to 3 depending on the quality.
Plates from 2 to 7 depending on the size.
Magnets are usually from 1 ye.
Tobacco for hookah in duty is better or check for suitability.
Tea was taken for 1-2 ye. /100 grams, hibiscus (beautiful buds).
And yes, the Old Market and the choice is cheaper.
We already have places where we buy both tea and fruit all the time, but it will be extremely difficult to explain.
Good luck

A lot has already been written here, I'll add. Cats, depending on what size they are, are medium if you can bargain up to 5 dollars from lapis lazuli or stone, small and 2. and 1 each)) But there are many fakes under the stone, you can check it. knock it on some surface). Why does no one write that silver is inexpensive and is of very good quality! Tea in Egypt is so-so, it does not grow there .. imported. But there are various herbs. Herbal medicinal fees. Depending on what area you are in. I can advise one man, he definitely will not deceive you either in tea, or in herbs, or in oils. He collects them himself, herbs. And he has a shop in the hotel. Jojoba oil is good, but there are a lot of fakes, you need to understand it. So as not to be cheated.

"4. For many years, hookahs have not been allowed to be carried in hand luggage and you will have to pack a glass flask in a suitcase. Are you sure that when you arrive home you will use it? For those who already have a hookah, bring a few tobaccos. The most delicious in yellow boxes."
You are writing wrong. The flask can and should be carried in hand luggage, the rest must be in a suitcase.
As for the hookah, take khail mamoon, this is the best Egyptian hookah, which is also respected here. But, keep in mind, the shaft is not collapsible, it will only fit into a 3rd suitcase.
How to understand what it is? There is an engraving with an inscription on the saucer. + the price of about $ 40-60 will give it away (this is $ 20 cheaper than at home).
Tobacco - only Nakhla (adequate price $ 1 for a small pack, $ 3 for 250 grams, let them go for more walks). In Egypt, other good tobacco is not made, everything else can be bought from us. If they don’t offer it, you can send it far and for a long time, it’s not tasty.

I support the previous advice - in George Clooney's store you will take a wide range and much cheaper than individually running to look elsewhere. But if you have 20-30 people ... think - but will you have an advantage? because if you pay 8-10 dollars per kg for it, depending on the airline - so the souvenirs will come out golden ... and if there are a lot of souvenirs of the same type -
will they not consider it as an import for commercial use (then you will also pay a duty ...)

Thanks everyone for the advice. They took advantage of the offer and wrote to George Clooney in Viber, answered two minutes later, sent a car an hour later ... it took about 25 minutes from us where we settled to his store. Free transfer in both directions. Bought great. For every taste. Souvenirs for 1,2,3 dollars ... almost any fruit for 1 dollar per kilogram. Mango only 4 dollars but they said it was not the season and they were imported. Teas for 1 USD 100g and spices also .... they took 10 kinds, gave for 8 dollars, gave a bag in addition a keychain and pumice stone ... papyrus if you take more than one for 1-1.5 USD they give, beautiful very glows in the dark, a certificate and the seal is placed. T-shirts for 2-3 dollars, women's dresses 3-4 dollars. Just so many eyes run. They returned satisfied. Those who write that this is an advertisement, do not believe it, we are living eyewitnesses, now we are resting in Sharm. In the old city, they cheated us both on tea (they took a little luck) and on a hookah.
P.s. do not swear, it’s everyone’s business where to buy, thanks again for the advice.

George Clooney has hired a full-fledged social media manager. Now every week we will read about his amazing shop with wonderful souvenirs at fabulous prices.....

Dear...
аватар partnercol
Dear ... you follow what and to whom you write. I didn’t invent a profession for you and didn’t write it down in someone’s pro ranks. The feeling that you are sitting on the truth and waiting for someone to help or tell someone in something, and then you start to splash saliva with anger.
I repeat! Thanks guys for the advice, they helped me and my wife. This is a project to help each other, and not to pour bile on the site for nothing.

So the Egyptian Georges Clooney will become the famous original...

And I also brought black pepper and colored peas. Black took $ 1 per 100 grams of color $ 2 Bought at the Old Market
аватар lotos12345
partnercol, I'm glad that you bought well!!! For gifts, you can still take mirrors with the symbols of Egypt, 1 dollar each, for women a good souvenir and a necessary thing. But I don’t pay attention to malicious attacks, the dog barks --- the caravan is moving (oriental wisdom). experience of tourists and useful tips. Have a nice holiday!!!

Olenka pours water about the hookah!!! because nehera doesn’t fumble in them !!! Definitely a must take! In the old city! Hookah in a complete set (mine 90cm!!! flask, plate, cup clay, tweezers, callaud, hose. + as a gift, several sets of all rubber bands!!! mouthpieces about 100 package!! + bag for transportation) = 30$ !! And the hookah there is not Chinese bullshit, but the signature Egyptian Khalil Mamun !! There is a brand everywhere on the mine and on the plate! We have only one such mine that will cost 70 dollars!! Coal there is good 1kg = $ 3! tobacco Nakhla and Nakhla Mizo 2 packs for $1 !!! Just bargain! more vparyat 2-3 bucks a pack!!!
аватар ollennka
Mukhaha))) I’m just rummaging in hookahs, you won’t drink ten years of experience! But I just don’t recommend believing such illiterate cries).
аватар Veter.Peremen-Nadezhda.Kurganskaya
Absolutely support! Shop at George Clooney! Really great guys! Honest and decent! Still sooo long ago (when I myself was a tourist) I bought all souvenirs from him)
аватар kupol705
It would be an experience! I would not carry garbage !!!)))
аватар yorkhils
about George Clooney - everything is true. I myself skimped on him on February 13 - I bought a chic plastic large suitcase for $ 30 for the future - when you go to him and if you take business cards - he still takes off. Towels - picked for a long time. but everyone with threads was strong ...

Olga, what kind of hookah can we get for $40? Tell me with 10 years of experience as a hookah + why advise taking an alfaker in Egypt, where it is more expensive than ours? You can get it from us for 30k, in the same place 2-3 bucks.
+ why lie that you can’t put a flask in hand luggage?
But, the guy above is wrong in one thing, there is no fake mamun. It is original everywhere, they can just sell the Sheriff or some other noname. Therefore, you need to look so that there is a stigma on the saucer and everywhere, anywhere.
And check whether it is stainless steel or not + the hole in the shaft should not be narrow, maun is appreciated for this.
аватар ollennka
konark666, You attributed something superfluous to me: about the experience of working as a hookah, and about the advice to buy tobacco in Egypt, and about the transportation of the flask, I did not say that. Read it again, right?
