Made in Egypt Tour- Tent Makers Market Bab Zuweila - Hassan Kadri - Cotton Applique
Souvenirs at the Bab Zuweila Tent Makers Market
Pyramid Art for Hand Crafts
One of the most useful and most packable souvenirs of Egypt is the beautiful cotton applique and needlework. I buy sofa cushion covers every time I am there. The applique is usually in Islamic patterns, but sometimes you get little scenes with camels, people, boats and other things.
You can watch the owner and usually a couple of workers making the piece. The variety is always large and it is always hard to choose. You will see people selling smaller pieces or cushion covers all over Cairo, but for the best selection tell your guide you would like to stop at the Bab Zuweila Tent Makers Market.
