  7. Habiba

    Newly opened and run by an Australian woman who loves to travel in Egypt and who wants to promote the best of Egyptian crafts, this tiny shop sells an ever expanding selection of Bedouin embroidery, jewellery, leather work, wonderful Siwan scarves, the best Egyptian cotton towels usually only for export, mirrors and brass lights all at fair trade fixed prices. A world away from what is available in the nearby souq. Recommended.
