Concierge.com's insider take:
Around the corner from the Al-Azhar Mosque, across the busy Al-Azhar Street from Midan El-Hussein, Al-Khatoun is an artists' cooperative occupying a restored Ottoman dye house. Look for cotton textiles printed with Islamic calligraphy; antique Egyptian movie posters; jeweler Suzanne El-Masri's enameled silver earrings and necklace ensembles; and tasteful housewares of painted wood, hammered metal, Egyptian alabaster, and papier-mâché. During Ramadan, the gallery hosts musical evenings.
Open daily 11 am to 9 pm.
