Can anybody tell-el-amarna me anything about the current bead-market/s in Egypt?

Where to go?
Cairo? Alexandria? Luxor? Antique-shops?

Is the export of ancient glassbeads legal?

Since "nobody" is visiting the country right now - due to the political situation - very cheap tickets are available (150-200 $/return). I would like to take advantage of current prices and make a short, 7-10 day visit to the BEAUTIFUL country.

Any information about beads and where to get them, is appreciated!
