I’m a huge fan of buying clothing online, I enjoy shopping at US & UK websites and pay for international shipping just to get my favorite brands that aren’t available in Egypt.

This was how I would by the majority of my clothing in Egypt, because not just do I get my favorite brands like, tommy hilfiger, raplh lauren, calvin klein and Marks & Spencer but I get them at prices way below what they are sold for in Egypt.

But this has now totally changed, it changed when I bumped into an online Ad for a website named www.menbarra.com

menbarra.com is the first online clothing website that I have encountered in Egypt that sells clothing online at really good prices. I started to navigate around the page to discover more about the website and the products available. Below are my comments about all aspects of menbarra.com:

They have a nice variety of products covering men, women, kids, shoes and bags. However I still believe they need to enlarge their catalog to include more items.

The design is pretty nice and simple, easy to navigate but not that flash eye catching type.

This is the best of what they have to offer, excellent support and very speedy response. They attempt to provide the best customer experience possible.

Since not everyone in egypt is used on buying online via credit card, menbarra.com provides “cash on delivery” where you can pay for your order when it is shipped to your door step. In addition to this they also accept credit cards online.

In terms of shipping they ship your items within 2-3 days and they charge a flat rate of 25 L.E. Although they offer a lot of promo’s from time to time offering free shipping in cairo.

 

Finally, If you live in Egypt and want to buy US & UK apparel you really need to give www.menbarra.com a visit and enjoy their quality and low prices.

 

Check it out and tell me what you think.

Ancient Inscriptions
In a dry riverbed in Egypt’s eastern desert, carvings and inscriptions dating back to 4000 BC can be found. The site marks the only painted pyroglyph in the Eastern Desert, and the drawings of Egyptian reed boats found on the walls are some of the oldest to be discovered. Sights such as these are well worth visiting on a holiday to Egypt as they mark the first signs of writing.
The Legend of the Sphinx
The Great Sphinx of Giza is perhaps one of the most iconic depictions of ancient Egypt, and a holiday to Egypt would be incomplete without paying this wonder a visit. This famous statue of a reclining lion with a human head is the largest monolith in the world. It is also the oldest monument, and it is commonly thought to be the work of ancient civilisations dating back to the third millennium BC.
This statue is a grand sight to behold, with its majestic head facing due East, and a small temple positioned between its paws. Its development is something of a riddle to historians, with nothing more than theories as to how and when it came about. Most historians support the theory that it was created by Pharaoh Kharfa in about 2500 BC, but there is little agreement as to who the face depicts.
A fantastic day out whilst on holiday in Egypt is a trip to the see the Sphinx, giving you a glimpse into a civilisation dating back nearly 5000 years.
Paying a Visit to the Pyramids
Alongside the Sphinx, Egypt is associated with tall pyramids silhouetted by a backdrop of a camel-spotted desert. There are over a hundred pyramids in Egypt. The earliest to be built is the Pyramid of Djoser, found in the archaeological remains in the Saqqora necropolis. This pyramid dates back to the 27th century BC, and was built for the burial of Pharaoh Djoser.
The most well known pyramids are situated on the outskirts of Cairo, in Giza. The largest of these pyramids is the Pyramid of Khufu, which is the only one of the Seven Ancient Wonders of the world still in existence.
A holiday to Egypt will give you the opportunity to visit this incredible phenomenon, and serve as an eye opener to an ancient land.
Modern Mosques and Cities
Egypt’s capital, Cairo, is a vibrant city offering a more modern experience while on holiday to Egypt. With the Cairo and Khedivial Opera Houses, the Cairo International Film Festival and a host of nightly activities in the city, you won’t be short of entertainment.
Situated in this buzzing city is the Mosque of Mohammed Ali, a modern mosque built in the early 19th century. It is a very impressive sight to behold as the great dome and towering minarets add an oriental twist to Cairo’s skyline. Mohammed Ali destroyed the palaces of Mamluk, and built this grand mosque as a tribute to himself in its place. The mosque now houses Mohammed Ali’s body.
The main dome is 52 metres in height, with circles of small lamps hung in its centre and dotted around the room, creating a spectacle of light inside. Cairo city centre and a visit to this more modern mosque will be the perfect addition to an exploration on the ancient civilisations while on holiday to Egypt.

If you hate shopping… you’re really going to hate shopping in Egypt. Forget window browsing, because it doesn’t exist there. The hard sell is one way of looking at it; a fully interactive shopping experience is another.

That bazaar magic is of course, the art of haggling, and depending on what type of person you are it will either send you to orgasmic heights of shopping or scare your wallet so far down your trousers that you’ll find it hard to use that wad of notes as currency again.

I for one am far too genial to haggle effectively, but my wife has no such qualms and would happily barter, procrastinate and emotionally manipulate sellers until we walked away with a treasure trove of bargains for the price other people were paying for a postcard. This may sound awful, but I swear, they love to haggle in Egypt. An Egyptian street vendor who doesn’t haggle is like the American shop assistant who doesn’t say ‘have a nice day’ or the British clerk who forgets to scowl. Am I being stereotypical? Sure I am. But where do stereotypes come from? Well, in the case of haggling, they come from Egypt. And who better to haggle with than the ruthless capitalist tourists of the west?

A vast range of goods are available from Egypt, the most important of these being; trinkets based upon ancient monuments, spices (although these are not always what they appear to be), gold and cotton. All of these items are available at a price that is never entirely clear to you. You will not find a price tag and if you ask how much it is you will generally be given a price that is twice what you will end up paying for it… if you haggle that is. Shopping in Egypt is an art, a delicate multistage process that can culminate in extreme shopping satisfaction or a brain malfunction.

The first thing you must do when you enter a shop or approach a vendor in Egypt is to not act surprised when they correctly guess your nationality. You stick out like a sore thumb and there have been countless droves before you who’ve been drawn into parting with a small fortune based on innocent conversational starters like, ‘lovely people… (insert nationality)… not like the (insert nationality that is not your own)… I no like them.’ Now, I’m not suggesting that you clam up and don’t communicate… far from it. The Egyptian people are warm and welcoming and I would strongly recommend that you enjoy these conversations. Just be aware that your custom is wooed like a gentleman of court would a lady of fashion; the most charming, can often be the most persuasive. You must constantly remind yourself that you are not the best of friends… you are engaged in a preamble to a sale.

One of the nice things about shopping in Egypt is that you will be offered a cup of Hibiscus tea almost everywhere you go. This thoroughly refreshing blend is an acquired taste but you will at least be able to tell everyone back home that you ‘made like the locals’ and had tea with a nice Egyptian man. The tea is doubly pleasant considering that temperatures further south in Egypt regularly top 40 degrees centigrade. Just remember… all that tea must go somewhere. If you plan to make a toilet stop whilst shopping in Egypt, be sure that you have some tissues to hand or a few notes of the local currency to pay for toilet roll from another enterprising native. Is nothing free in this world?

Back to shopping… and if you are interested in an item, don’t make out that you are. This may sound obvious, but pulling off indifference is harder than it sounds. Once you’ve mastered sounding indifferent, you’re halfway to being a successful haggler. A successfully indifferent face will lead to a cascade of price drops… but when to stop?

When you hear them say ‘I have kids to feed’ you know you’re getting a reasonably good deal. It’s like a game of poker in many respects, don’t show your hand too early or you’ll lose out. Which brings me to another important point… don’t produce a wallet ripe with notes. Not only is it a risk (pickpockets are common in busy markets) you risk insulting the vendor you’ve haggled down to the bone.

It’s well worth noting that in the tourist hot spots along the Nile, particularly in the official government shops, goods are generally a lot more expensive than in Red Sea resorts. If you’re planning a trip to the Red Sea coast, many if not all of the goods (including those associated with ancient Egypt) are available in outlets there. In El Gouna for instance you will find things such as jewelry and perfumes are available at a fraction of the cost you might pay in Luxor or Cairo.

At the end of the day though, a good purchase is something that you want at a price that you believe is fair. Haggle politely, haggle responsibly and you may find shopping in Egypt an experience money can’t buy. You can’t haggle for that.
