To many, they are considered a fashion staple that is equally convenient and practical and can be paired with everything from a leather jacket or white button-down shirt to a sweatshirt or bomber jacket.
Being so popular, you have plenty of online stores to pick from with most branches selling for an average of 400 EGP. Some top picks to go for include Egypt’s ImagineX online store where you can buy a pair of cargo pants for 400 EGP. The store ships to both Egypt and the UAE. You can also go for Majesty which is on the pricier side with one pair of cargo pants costing 750 LE but for the higher price, you get access to more color options and looser fitting pants.
