Lonely Planet review

The main draw is secondhand clothing, mostly well organised, clean and with marked prices (especially on Sharia al-Wabur al-Fransawi). Further in, you'll find good textiles, car parts and military surplus.

Also known as Souq Bulaq, or the Bulaq Market, this is a whole neighbourhood, just north of Sharia 26th of July and inland of the Nile, dedicated to cheap cloth and fabrics, second-hand clothes and also to spare car parts and tools. Lace curtains and sump pumps - it's an odd mixture. Low prices draw lots of customers, especially on Friday. It's closed on Sunday.
