I know these two (daily) markets: Kitkat and Dokki, Kitkat market is located here: 30掳 4'46.43"N, 31掳12'51.59"E Just copy/paste this in Google Earth/Maps.
Dokki is located here: 30掳 2'25.10"N, 31掳12'45.24"E
I don't recommend to go alone (as a female) to the market in Kitkat. On Friday mornings I sometimes go alone to the market in Dokki, quiet and easy/easier to park the car. There must be more markets but I know only these two in this area.

For Zamalek: Farmers market at Nun center on Saturdays.

No, why, you can point out what you want.聽 Most have the prices on (although in Arabic) and if not you can ask for the price (bekem). But you have to know the numbers in Arabic to know the answer

(otherwise take your calculator and ask them to type the price, like in China

)

So it is best to know the Arabic handwritten numbers and their pronunciation in Egyptian Arabic. There is a difference in handwritten numbers and printed numbers only for 2 and 3.

I asked my Friend to write down the Arabic numbers for me 1 to 10 ...I use to sit and take down car numbers and then write them in English then I would write them again in Arabic with out looking at my friends writing ,after 2 days I could and still can look at arabice number and know what it is in English ..I found it easy to write the numbers but I am still learning how to say them ... I will get there one day ..lol

I am sure this will help anyone over there in Egypt to be able to shop and look at the price and then look back and see how much it is ...EASY ..

Have a good day ... no change in My friend in Bali ..
