  SHOPPING  
     
 

During a visit to Egypt, most clients express a wish to purchase typical items of this country like gold, silver or original papyrus. Galaxia Tours recommends shops where the client can be sure that the items purchased are of value and not replaced with items of lesser value. None of these shops belongs to Galaxia Tours. The client ultimately decides where to buy, what to buy, and at which price.

A variety of things are specialties of Egypt, like cotton, gold, silver, alabaster, copper, papyrus, leisure wear, shoes and leather. In many shops, especially in the bazaar area, you are advised to bargain, aim at almost around 50-60 percent of the first price asked.

 

There are also many shops of international fame like Benetton, Stefanel, New Man, Venti, Mexx and Mobaco. Designs are mostly Italian and prices are much lower than in Europe.
