About
Craftsmen shape and finish pieces in the open workshop; visitors can watch and try a simple piece themselves.
It is about a 6-minute walk from the Mena House roundabout, on Nazlet El-Semman Road. Run by the same family since 1986, the team is used to welcoming visitors from all over the world and is happy to help in English and Arabic.
