About
Hand-woven baskets, embroidered cushions and pottery made by families in the surrounding villages.
It is about a 12-minute walk from the Mena House roundabout, on Al-Mansoureya Road. Run by the same family since 1981, the team is used to welcoming visitors from all over the world and is happy to help in English and Arabic.
This is a fictional demo listing used to show how Giza Spot presents a place.
