Scenes from the Marketplace: Barbershop and Linen Shop

This week our tourists have visited the barbershop and linen shop. In the barbershop and salon, our guests learn about how much Egyptians cared about their looks—even how they looked after they died! Our barbers showed the children how to make headbands, Egyptian style.










In the linen shop, our guests helped to make blankets, but these blankets aren't for sale in the marketplace. These will be donated to children in need elsewhere in the world.
