Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- travaller60Wellington, New Zealand125 contributionsWent with my daughter to the Khan-El-Khalili which is the historic bazaar in the centre of old Cairo. It fascinating, huge and a must experience. To be honest some people made us feel a little uncomfortable, but all was good. The salespeople can be a little pushy and most of the items are cheap and I believe are imported from China. So be aware.Written 6 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- karen703arlington, va279 contributionsTake your time and enjoy the superb craftsmanship. It's worth every penny of the price - and the vendors do NOT inflate their prices. This is an art form which may die out after these artisans retire.Written 18 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Catherine3 contributionsThis was one of the highlights during my visit to Cairo. When I read about it, I knew I had to go. It all seemed so chaotic. The camels are mainly sold for their meat so keep this in mind if you are a vegetarian. Had a driver with a guide to get there. The drive through the countryside to get there was also worth it. Ladies..take a scarf to wear, dust being kicked up everywhere.Written 7 April 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- lynx74Saint Paul, MN48 contributionssmall but worth the hike - if you are surrounded by bullet bras and pre-packaged blankets you are not there yet. Keep moving - also there's a great local market stretch that's fun to walk through and buy some Egyptian pretzels and enjoyWritten 22 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
