    This gem of a place specialises in jewellery and traditional Bedouin crafts and costumes, particularly from Siwa. Items include appliquéd tablecloths and cushion covers, dresses made in the oases, woven baskets, silk slippers and chunky silver jewellery. To find it, go past the Egyptian Water Works office to the 1st floor and ring the bell. There are smaller branches in the Cairo Marriott, Grand Hyatt and Nile Hotel.

    This boutique showcases the local designer’s delicate ­cascading necklaces trimmed with semi­precious stones and other elegant but modern pieces. Not cheap, but gorgeous work.
