Where the jewellery trade works: gold souks, jewellery quarters, diamond districts, manufacturing towns and export zones, with what you find there and the official website where there is one.
Gold souk or gold street
Cairo, Egypt
What you find: Gold and silver jewellery, made and sold on the spot
Cairo's medieval bazaar, founded in the 14th century, whose goldsmiths' lanes near al-Muizz Street still make and sell gold jewellery. Bargain over the workmanship, not the gold price.
Places and official bodies, not businesses: JewelLoop does not rank, recommend or endorse any shop or dealer. Websites are the district's own or an official body's. Many trade offices and factories see buyers by appointment only, so check before you travel, and follow the export and customs rules of every country involved. Gem trading places are in Gem markets of the world.
