Unfortunately nothing in Cairo is that straightforward. You can get a taxi from the airport straight to City Star Mall and you could easily spend a whole day and not get round it all (unless you are a bloke) but you have to know where to go for the outlet shops. I would not recommend that you just turn up at the fabric markets. It can be a bit daunting at first but great fun. The best shops to buy linens and bedding are not in the shopping malls as they can be quite expensive. I will need to start collecting business cards from the shops that we use in Cairo.
