One of the Tripadvisors said:
Here you can learn about real Egyptian life! There are very few tourists here. Impressions I've collected here: Forgotten and beautiful! ”
Another visitor shared some warnings, but still highly rated the location, rating four out of five.
They write: “We had to shop and were told this is the place to visit, and we are happy that we did. There are plenty of cafes, small restaurants and shops in the area where we can buy a wide range of things, from spices to clothing, luggage and everything in between.
“I highly recommend the hug rings and it works here. The shop/street owners were a bit forceful with our time/money, but in addition to not being able to handle it, we saw quite a few bee food/homeless people, so overall it's a bustling place as we can easily spend 3-4 hours.”
