After checking in to our hostel, the sun is already setting across the Nile River.
The traffic is heavy on the street of Cairo.
First thing to do is get ourselves a swarma meal. There are quite a few swarma restaurant here in Cairo and we just simply get one from the first one we came across.
Follow the crowd, we reach one of the oldest mosque in Cairo, Al- Azhar that with the history of more than thousand years.
The minaret is believed to have been built much earlier and have been rebuilt several time after it was found leaning dangerously.
The beautiful chandelier near the entrance of the mosque.
After visiting the mosque, we walk to the famous Khan al Khalili bazaar. You can find anything from fruits to furniture or electrical appliances. This is also home to many Egyptian artisans produce the finest traditional crafts and souvenirs.
You are really spoilt for choice with so many options to chose from.
Jewerly and spice is rather common and can be found at many corner of the bazaar.
We never have a fresh dates before, here they are easily available and the price are cheap too.
