    I love finding handmade local items so I knew that I had to find this store in Zamalek. I was a bit worried when I saw the sign in the street but then didn’t immediately see the store. You have to go up some stairs and then ring the buzzer. My son also helped by knocking when the worker didn’t immediately answer. Once we got inside he let my kid sit on a chair and helped make him comfortable by finding a saucer for him to rest a snack on while I shopped. He was smart because two minutes later my kid was pulling me all over the store to find stuff to buy. We found some handmade Christmas ornaments and some textiles that we couldn’t pass up but there is a ton of stuff there!

    Fair Trade Egypt is the shop we were looking for- at fair prices! We found beautiful jewellery, pottery, rugs, scarves and more. I am so glad we found this exquisite shop. I will tell my tour guide about it. I try to find Fair Trade shops- this store had so much — I only wish I’d found it sooner.

    Great little shop selling fine quality handmade products. Definitely search out this place which is on the first floor of a random apartment looking building. It's worth it for a good cause

    Visited 2/2022- challenge to find but follow the signs. Apt building, one flight up, sign on door- ring bell or knock for entry. Worth seeking out. Pottery, woven goods, jewelry, scarves, rugs, table runners, all Egyptian made - Fair Trade to support the artisans. Great assistance- bubble packed everything for travel. I wish I could have bought more! Not enough hands to carry! No haggling and no stress...authentic goods

    Wonderful shop with hand-made products from all over Egypt. Colourful dish towels, coasters, bags, coffee cups, carpets and key rings, alabaster plates, beads and jewelry. Also essential oils and cosmetics. I will do all my Christmas shopping there!

    I was in Egypt for 16 nights and was so glad to find this gem of a shop in the wonderful area of Zamalek. You could take your time to browse and select the gifts and souvenirs without the stress to negotiate prices like you would do almost everywhere in the country. The selection is diverse and you can't beat their prices for what you get. 10/10 PS say hi to the cat at the door. it didn't move an inch when we entered the shop.

    Small store with a good variety of beautiful fair trade items. Purchased a gorgeous handmade coverlet (essentially a thinner bedspread) and scarf as well as some small gifts for family. No hassle and very reasonable prices. I hope to shop there again when in Cairo!

  • 1/5 Uxia Rey L. 11 months ago on Google • 13 reviews
    The products look nice but the attention was extremely unpleasant. The woman who is working there seems to not like her job. She was rude towards us because we had to take our time to get our credit card and pay. Everything bothered her, even when the phone rang she sighed and put a bad face. If you’re working at a Fair Trade shop you should be happy that people know about your shop and go buy there. She also talked in arabic about us in front of our faces. Disgusting. P.S. She almost didn’t charge me for the products I bought since they were inside a bag that they sell at the shop. I had to tell her. What kind of control is that? Check who you hire…
