"come to the light" at Fustat Market: Our First Exhibition to Support Egyptian Handicrafts

2025-03-30

In the heart of Old Cairo, at the historic Fustat Market, our first exhibition under the "Itlaa Lil Noor" initiative took place, marking a significant milestone in supporting Egyptian handicrafts and small businesses. This event was not just a marketplace; it was a vibrant platform showcasing the creativity of Egyptian artisans while blending heritage with modern craftsmanship.

Fustat Market: A Hub for Egyptian Handicrafts

Fustat Market is one of Egypt’s most renowned centers for handmade crafts, known for preserving traditional art while embracing contemporary designs. Hosting our first exhibition here was the perfect choice, bringing together over 40 exhibitors from different governorates to display their unique creations.

A Wide Range of Handmade Products

The exhibition featured a diverse collection of Egyptian handmade crafts, including:

Wooden and brass decorations inspired by traditional oriental designs.

Handcrafted accessories made from copper, silver, and gemstones.

Crochet and knitted products in modern styles and vibrant colors.

Artworks and decoupage pieces reflecting Egypt’s rich artistic heritage.

Scented candles and natural soaps crafted from organic ingredients.

Embroidered textiles and handmade linens preserving the essence of Egyptian heritage.

Free Workshops to Empower Young Entrepreneurs

Beyond selling products, we aimed to empower young people and artisans through free workshops, providing them with skills to start their own businesses in the handicrafts industry.

Supporting Charities and Small Businesses

Through collaborations with charitable organizations and social initiatives, we provided a platform for small businesses to showcase their products, helping them reach new customers and raising awareness about the importance of supporting local artisans and handmade crafts.

A Successful Start… with More to Come!

The Itlaa Lil Noor exhibition at Fustat Market was just the beginning. We are committed to organizing more events that promote Egyptian handicrafts and support local artisans. The success of this first event motivates us to continue, ensuring that every handmade piece crafted with love finds its way to the world!
