Dear Sirs
I'm a student lute in Italy, occasionally aoud player. The next month I'll go to Cairo and I'd like to know if someone knows a shop, place or a luther
in Cairo where to buy a good electric oud or as an alternative an acoustic one
thanks a million

Papa Zian...........down town Cairo
oldest store....
Mahamed ali ST.........
.........
Strip of endless stores....
Have to know How to haggle......
If you do not know how,bring
an Eggyptian with you that knows how....
If the price starts at a $100.00,it is ,most likely,not worth..
more than $20.00..........Good luck....

thank you sir
even if, as I've seen in this forum,it is recommended not going to Mahamed alì st to buy a real oud !! It's a touristic place for touristic ouds as
most of the people in this forum has written
Anyway, thanks for the advice, I'll bring a local one with me
