Cultural / Networking Event: Khan El Khalili Bazaar Experience
No visit to Cairo is complete without a stop at the Khan El Khalili bazaar. Since time is limited and movements during rush-hour are
time consuming we will bring the bazaar to you! The Almaza Terrace at the Marriott Palace Hotel will be transformed into the famous
Khan El Khalili bazaar, with a twist. The entire terrace will be decorated with décor and gimmicks to make the delegates feel they are
in the 14th century walking through Cairo’s old Islamic district. Shop owners calling you to their stalls, the scent of spices, the hustle
and bustle of trade will have you think you have travelled back in time.
