The fabulous Mahmouds - a belly dancers heaven with 3 floors of jangly sequinned numbers from earrings to hipscarfs, coin belts, class wear and costumes.  In the Khan el Khalili down a small alley, it is an amazing place to shop and you could easily spend hours in here.

No dancer should go to Cairo without experiencing this!  I get angry when I hear of belly dance trips where the organisers have not taken people here.  The stock varies - sometimes there is a good range of ready made costumes too. Mahmouds prices are generally fixed so you don't usually have the haggling of other stall holders in the Khan el Khalili.
