                <description><![CDATA[This is "real" Alexandria and a real treat too. Unlike the Khan in Cairo, tourists don't get hassled to buy stuff here. As it is not touristy you'd better bring a phrase book if you are looking for something specific, otherwise just enjoy wandering around the streets. <br>The Eastern end starts with clothes and material (some lovely scarves here), then there are a few streets with spices (far, far cheaper than Cairo!) and then the fresh fish, fruit and vegetables take over.<br>Best buys are loofas, dried Hibiscus, dates and Halva.<br>It's relatively easy to find your way home as well; as turning off the main street will take you to the Corniche and a taxi will never be too far away.]]></description>
