Lonely Planet review for Habiba
Run by an Australian woman who loves to travel in Egypt and who wants to promote the best of Egyptian crafts, this tiny shop goes from strength to strength. It sells an ever-expanding selection of Bedouin embroidery, jewellery, leather work, wonderful Siwan scarves, cotton embroidered scarves from Sohag, the best Egyptian cotton towels (usually only for export), mirrors and brass lights – and all at fair-trade fixed prices. A world away from what is available in the nearby souq.

We met the beautiful people of this shop about 8 years ago...we shared our cultures singing a waiata for them as you do!! was so inspired by this womans ability and desire to make a difference for the people of Luxor and the humility with which she does it!!!
