Review & FAQ:
Khan el-Khalili is a souk that sits on what was originally the turbat az-za'faraan (the Saffron Tomb), the burial site of the Fatimid caliphs. Because of its location, Khan el-Khalili has a lengthy and interesting history of economic growth and foreign trade that included the sale of slaves. The layout of the district was modified by Sultan al-Ghuri in the early 1500s. The Turkish community established itself here during the Ottoman period.
