What to Buy in Egypt: Top Souvenirs and Local Treasures
From papyrus art to gold cartouches — here are the best Egyptian souvenirs to take home and where to buy them.
No trip to Egypt is complete without bringing home a piece of its magic. Whether you love history, fashion, or handmade crafts, Egypt is a souvenir paradise.
Here are the top things you should buy in Egypt:
1. Alabaster & Stone Carvings (Luxor & Aswan)
Hand-carved statues, candle holders, and pharaoh busts make stunning home decor.
2. Egyptian Jewelry & Cartouches
Gold or silver cartouche necklaces engraved with your name in hieroglyphics are among the most personal souvenirs you can get.
3. Papyrus Paintings
Decorated with ancient Egyptian scenes — pharaohs, gods, and hieroglyphics — they are light and easy to carry.
4. Spices, Tea & Dates
Visit local bazaars to pick up hibiscus tea (Karkadeh), Egyptian coffee, fresh dates, and aromatic spice blends.
5. Egyptian Perfume Oils
Many famous international perfumes are inspired by pure oils from Aswan and Cairo — without alcohol and long-lasting.
Shopping Tip: Always buy from trusted bazaars or government-approved shops — or simply ask your All Tours Egypt guide to take you to authentic places.
