A cultural centre and guesthouse in Old Cairo, preserving Egypt’s traditional craft heritage
The heritage of Old Cairo’s Gamaleya district is fragile — many of its traditional crafts have already disappeared.
Two restored heritage buildings, one a fair-trade workshop and school for traditional crafts, the other a guesthouse, bring visitors into the life of Old Cairo’s arts.
We are happy to announce that suits and rooms are now available for rent. Please visit Stays and Art Residencies for more information.
Our online boutique is live!
We are excited to be able to share Gamaleya’s work with the world.
Mossad, one of our talented Master Artisans
Gamaleya is all about celebrating and preserving Egypt’s rich cultural heritage. When traditional knowledge fades away, it’s tough to regain. Folk culture and art are at the heart of national identity and how communities express themselves.
