  1. Khan al-Khalili

    The Khan al-Khalili is full of incredible kitsch, but there are also some worthwhile items. Backgammon boards, as used in Egyptian coffeehouses, start at around Earound £E25 for something quite plain, considerably more for mother-of-pearl inlay. If you have enjoyed smoking a sheesha , you could buy your own - though you'll need to also stock up on the special tobacco and the small clay pots that it is stuffed into.
