About
A rambling bazaar of souvenirs, scarves and brassware; prices are marked on most items.
It is about a 9-minute walk from the Sphinx entrance, on Abu Al Hol Street. Run by the same family since 1985, the team is used to welcoming visitors from all over the world and is happy to help in English and Arabic.
This is a fictional demo listing used to show how Giza Spot presents a place.
Getting there

About 9 minutes on foot from the Sphinx entrance. Ask for "Papyrus Reed" — most shopkeepers on Abu Al Hol Street know it.
Main entrance Not yet confirmed on site
Take the stairs next to the juice stand to the first floor; the sign faces the street.
Placed on the map by an editor · ±8 m
