Buying gifts and Souvenirs is between the most important and pleasant activities for most of travelers, its also a challenge to find original products made in the country we are visiting.
Once while visiting Romania, I bought souvenirs that represent the Romanian culture but later on I felt disappointed as I found out that some of this souvenirs were made in China
The same problem can happen to any one while trying to buy souvenirs from Egypt, many products offered in the traditional souvenirs markets are not original and are not made in Egypt.
I would like to browse with you a shop I discovered, and I think it deserves a visit when its about searching for souvenirs and original products that represent the local lifestyle.
you can find big variety of products presenting the Egyptian culture and local lifestyle, even if you donāt need to buy, this place deserves visit to just watch,
Wow, @Abdoado , which is this place? I saw many things Iād love to buy there! I always get traditional souvenirs from the places I visit, because this way I feel like I take a piece of the country home.
Are prices fixed in this shop or is bargaining allowed?
As for your question, thereās one souvenir shop in Sofia, Bulgaria from where I always get presents for friends abroad. Itās called Souvenirs of Bulgaria and the prices are reasonable. I think most of their goods are handmade!
Iām actually glad that no negotiation is allowed there, I wouldnāt want to give an offensively low price just because Iām not aware of the real value of the goods!
The name of the souvenir shop I mentioned is linked to its Google Maps location, thatās why it appears in blue. You can link Google Maps locations, reviews, photos, and other websites by selecting the desired word or phrase and selecting the āInsert/edit linkā optionāitās the fifth option from the left and it looks like a chain. There you can directly insert the URL.
Thank you for share us about souvenirs. I am always looking for this items when visiting a city or country. When I was visit Egypt , papyrus the most I loved .Nice paintings.
