What the community said
Mangoes from Mango Market were described as extremely sour — reportedly worse than lemons. Not worth bringing home; supermarkets in your home country likely offer better quality at lower prices.

Dry henna from Egypt makes a decent souvenir. Just make sure to buy uncolored henna — the colored variety tends to spoil quickly.
