"Look for free. Where are you from? For you, my friend, Egyptian price." Words from hawkers at the Cairo bazaar. Our favorite: "Come inside, 100% discount." Around here, a 100% discount does not mean free. We learned to open a bid at 1/3 the asking price, and to settle for no more than 1/2 price. |
"I'll pay you to look inside," this salesman says. This caught Jill's interest until she discovered the payment was 25 piastres (8 cents). |
We ended the day with a felucca sunset cruise in Cairo |
