Description

Nahaseen tapestry depicts a scene from the Khan el-Khalili Market in Cairo, Egypt. This market has been around since the 14th century and is not just a tourist market. It is a fascinating mix of souvenirs, handmade craft, jewelry, exotic clothing and contains many restaurants and cafes where you can sit and watch an interesting mix of cultures. The narrow alleyways of shops twisting this way and that give visitors an insight into what medieval markets must have looked like.
