Souvenirs at the Giza Pyramids
Open Air Stall of Farid El Sobky

In a move to make the Pyramids more tourist friendly, the Supreme Council of Antiquities has limited the selling of souvenirs on the Giza Plateau to the Panorama area. The Panorama area is the large bus parking area behind the Pyramids, a short walk up the hill from the Menkaure pyramid.

The vendors there have a nice variety of things which are usually made in Egypt.

Here are details and picutres of one of the longtime souvenire stalls at the Giza Panorama, the open air shop of Mr. Farid el Sobky.

Who: The Vendor is Farid el Sobky.

Contact: Mobile Phone in Egypt - 0105164401

Vendor Story: He has worked at the Pyramids of Giza for 35 years, its his only business. He loves working with the tourists and he wants them to be happy and come and visit him and the pyramids many times. He will give you the best price at the panorama area The stand is his living and he has worked to educate his sons and daughters, who are now working in the tourism business.

Souvenirs: Bought 2 ushabti's made in Luxor by Mohamed Taaye.

Mr. Sobky gave me a good bargain on the two ushabtis I bought and gave me a good luck scarab to seal the deal. Mohamed Tayee is a master artisan, so Mr. Sobky stocks some of the best quality souvenirs in Egypt.
