Dining

Spice. Great Chinese food in the Four Seasons Nile Plaza. Expensive but worth it.

Abu el Sid. Very attractive in an Egyptian theatrical kind of way and very crowded. The food was only okay (our consensus about Egyptian food in general) but the place was “buzzy” and fun.

Shopping

The souk had mostly crap. I did find a shop called Turquoise, where they sold and strung stones. (say that fast). 19 Khan el Khalili.

The most interesting jewelry that I saw on the entire trip was at Azza Fahmy. Her pieces are contemporary, well-priced and mostly in silver. Multiple locations.
