Spice Shop in Khan al Khalili |

| Medieval Cairo is characterized by narrow, twisting, centuries-old alleys lined with stalls and shops, forming mazelike suqs, or bazaars. This spice shop is located in Khan al Khalili, a suq known for gold, silver, and wooden crafts. Intermixed with these stalls are mosques, light industry, and private homes. Egyptian intellectual Naguib Mahfouz set many of his novels in medieval Cairo, including his Cairo Trilogy, published in 1956-1957. | ||||||
