    Beautiful store with amazing products made in Egypt. Perfect to find a gift to bring home. I loved the diversity of articles as well as the fact that the shop supports local craftsmen. We were welcomed with a glass of carcadet which was much appreciated. The staff is very friendly. You absolutely must visit this shop if you come to Cairo !

    - The gallery has an excellent variety of handcrafts at reasonable prices. - Product quality varies based on designer (e.g., better finishing in some fabric bags/cases than others). - One suggestion/comment: Please use security cameras instead of hovering. This was not my expeirence in past visits to Oum el Dounia nor at similar stores (e.g., Fair Trade Zamalek). I would have enjoyed browsing more and might might have even bought more items. - I still give the store a 4-star rating and encourage others to visit it.

    Hidden gem 💎 The store has a unique collection of handmade items from all over Egypt, including Sinai, Siwa, and Saint Catherine. Ask the owner to give you a tour (if she hasn't already offered you a refreshment as soon as you walked in, which she will ☺️) Insider tip: look for the papier-mâché jewelry section, and get you a pair of blown glass shot glasses 🥃❣️🥃

    Relaxed shop with a variety of products. They let you browse and don't hassle you which is a relief. Good quality handicraft items that make good presents. They've got everything from books to scarfs, bags and mugs, and more. This is not a tat shop, but a shop that supports artisans. Prices are fixed so no haggling. Friendly staff.

    The cutest little shop to buy beautiful Egyptian made products from independent artists and craftspeople. If khan-al-Khalili is too busy for you, this is the place to go. We had such a nice shopping experience including fresh juice and 1:1 consultation on the origins of all the beautiful pieces, cannot recommend it highly enough!!

    Literally bumped into this hidden gem while looking for a grocery shop on the last day in Cairo. Conveniently close to Tahrir square. Crammed full of high quality artisan products from all over Egypt, you are sure to find some treasures to take home. I did! So, enjoy the Hibiscus welcome drink and happy shopping.

    Fantastic place to find beautiful gifts and souvenirs of Egypt in a tranquil and beautiful store. Make sure you know to walk up onto the second level to get into the store. I visit every time I am in Cairo.

    A lovely artisan handicraft shop in Downtown Cairo which feels like a calm oasis just off the busy street! The staff were so kind and welcomed us with a refreshing glass of juice. Gorgeous pottery, prints, baskets and textiles with information about the makers - very reasonable prices. Highly recommend!

    Be careful the shop is hard to find if you don’t exactly know where it is (first floor just above the fruits juices shop) but it worths it!! You had a good time and find a lot of beautiful artisanal souvenirs from Egypt, at a reasonable price. They speak English and even good French.

    Seeing the pictures propels me to visit the place. Beautiful products proudly made in Egypt displayed vividly and elegantly in specialized corners. Places like this make one proud of local art and artists. Well done!

    I am always excited to visit here when I am in Cairo. Beautiful items to admire and find a treasure for my home that reminds me of Egypt and is useful top. The view of the Square from the balcony is magic.

    Lovely handicrafts from all over Egypt. Fixed prices and very calm shopping environment if you’ve had enough of haggling! On the first floor (not obvious to find from street level).
