Shopping in Cairo

Post by hatusu »

Does anyone know if there is anywhere in Cairo that sells men's Birkenstock shoes?

Shopping for men's quality clothes in Cairo can be a nightmare.

The best in central Cairo are in Zamalek, but they are far apart from each other, and often hidden away in small back streets. For a £5 taxi ride from central Cairo there is a large shopping centre on the Alexandria Road, where there is a number of quality outlets for men and women. I think even Bennu might be impressed with some of the quality items there.

I think my best tip for you is an on-line international company that has an operation in Cairo called Farfetch.com, I am told they sell Birkenstock men's shoe, apparently their sandals are perhaps the best you can buy, but not cheap.

Anyhow, good luck.
