Hi,

Khan el Khallili is the Old Bazaar of Cairo; it's quite "crazy" in some ways & you must be prepared to haggle hard.

If you put the name in the search engine or google it, you'll find old threads about it & info on google.

Coptic also called Old Cairo is very nice and would make a nice aftenoon. The metro lets you off at Mgr Girgis, the main entrance.

Unfortunately there is nothing of any interest near Le Mereidian Pyramids, except the Pyramids of course !

As mentioned above the Khan Khalili Market area is a good place to go, and Old/Coptic Cairo does not take long to visit. The main problem for you will be the time it takes to get from the Pyramids/Giza area.

If we taxi, to either of these how long are we talking?? If the traveling is too far will just chill out around pool instead.

Thanks for all the replys.
