Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Our tour guide us walked us through and it was nice having her because she was able to dodge people coming at us trying to sell us something. However, it is an experience to walk through and wander and take in everything

    I dint think I've ever seen so many LED lights in one place. This shopping centre and restaurant complex is owned by the Savoy chain, so the outlets are clean and well managed. Pulling passers-by into shops, which happens elsewhere in Egypt is prohibited here, so the shopping experience is far more relaxed. It feels very safe, offers plenty of good quality restaurants, including Chinese, Thai, Indian, Greek, Turkish, Lebanese, Teppenaki, a steak house and a pub.
    It's well worth a visit.

    Went with my daughter to the Khan-El-Khalili which is the historic bazaar in the centre of old Cairo. It fascinating, huge and a must experience. To be honest some people made us feel a little uncomfortable, but all was good. The salespeople can be a little pushy and most of the items are cheap and I believe are imported from China. So be aware.

    Nike art gallery is spectacular. The whole ambience, from the exterior to the interior is breathtakingly beautiful.
    I had a wholesome experience visiting, plus I one hundred percent recommend.

    We had been to Victoria Yards twice to do a cycling tour with Micro-Adventure Tours and always thought it was beautiful.
    Great to be able to come back for First Sunday. Wonderful atmosphere, fantastic music, gorgeous flowers and planting, great market, galleries, and food stalls….and a gin distillery! Really fun place to visit.

    Definitely one of the better souks in Tunisia from my visit. They have a lot of traditional shops mixed with like shops that sell bags and clothes but it’s the more traditional shops you wanna visit. Some great spots to also stop for a coffee or some food.

    Worth the visit but be smart. Ignore the people selling leather goods or offering directions. My partner and I walked into the viewing terrace and just said no whenever asked if we wanted to see the leather goods or buy anything and we were fine, no scams!! Just vigilantly say no
