Is there Walmart in Cairo?

There is no Walmart in Egypt. But there is similar hypermarket which is "Carrefour". You can find there everything you need.

You can follow this link for more information:

Thanks, but there are dozens pin on my google map. Is it the one in maddi?

My suggestion to you is to try to find whatever you need in big hybermarkets first.

We don't have in Egypt places were you can call literally "Souk". What we have here in Egypt is that  some neighbourhoods  famous of selling stuff "where you can find fair quality and some times good ones" with reasonable prices.

Please note that, i don't recommend you to go shopping there by your self, you have to have an Egyptian accompany you unless you are aware with the Eyptian currency and the Egyptian way of bargaining.

The following are not all but some examples of local shoppig areas (in heliopolis and downtown):

1- In Heliopolis: "The Mosque square" neighbourhood which is called in Arabic "Middan Elgamee" --- is an area which is famous of selling jewelries (gold/silver), watches, bedding, home accessories.

2- In Helipopolis: The "damascus street" , this street is divided in to two parts the first part is famous of home accessories and the second part is famous of car accessories. 

3- In downtown: "Abdelaziz street/ of El-Attaba square", this street is famous of  home electrical appliances and Cellphones/cellphones' accessories.

4- In downtown: "Sherif street/ of Opera square", this area is famous of clothes and home accessories (suites, shirts, shoes, bedding,...etc.).

5- Omar Effendi stores: this chain is everywhere and they sell fair quality/fair prices of all the stuff you need.
see some images about this chain by following this link:

6- "Khan el khalili" neighbourhood: which is an old area where you can find jewelary and Egyptian souvenirs.
find images of khan el khaili by following this link:

Finally, I hope that I was of some help for you.
Again I recommend you to have an Egyptian accompanying you while you are shopping in any local area.

Good luck.
Cheers,
MO.

I'm going to the carrefour supermarket in downtown first, if they don't have stuff I need, I'll head to the hypermarket. But I will go to those market sometime, maybe not buy, but see.

Thanks again, great help!

Maybe you can also check one of the "El Tawheed & El Nour" department stores, shattered all over the city. Check yellowpages for exact locations. http://www.yellowpages.com.eg/

That's some useful information! Thanks a lot! Looks most bigger markets are in 6.10 city. How much go 6.10 from The Shooting Club by taxi? approximately.

Carrefour is also in Maadi (next to the ring road) and Spinney's is also in City stars.

There is no Walmart but there is a Carrefour and Hyper One. They both are like Walmart
