We loved our experience here. The gentleman who customized our beautiful books was an artist and a perfectionist. He made many unique books for us, each with different inscriptions, layouts and designs. He was generous, and included us in the entire process. This is a phenomenal place for anybody looking for high-quality, sophisticated, custom gifts.
Absolutely wonderful and a must-go-to for everyone, Egyptians and non-Egyptians alike. My friend got me a notebook for my birthday a few years back and I spent months trying to know where she made it at and discovered Abdelzahers stamp on the back of the notebook just a while ago. I customize hard cover notebooks for my friends and family there and they always make the best and most unforgettable gifts of all time.
We visited this charming book binding shop whilst on holiday in Cairo from London. We bought keepsake handcrafted books for our children with their names embossed into the leather whilst we waited. We were able to choose the style and size of font and watch the craftsman personalise our books! We chose handmade, leather books with a scene of Al Azhar hand painted on the front cover... it is simply exquisite! This is our second visit here... we love it! Everyone should stop here when visiting Khan e khalili market to buy high quality gifts!
Avoid at all cost!!!!If you want to be received by a staff who complains you take too much time to chose more than 10 items, barely acknowledges your presence and answers your polite questions with exasperation while ending up asking you to chose other items because the ones you picked are defective without offering to help....if you want all that then I recommend you set foot in this overrated shop, a counter-product of the extreme mediocrity of the offer available in Cairo.Positive reviews from tourists who wander around the souk without needing to order or buy anything.Sad for a place with such a location and potential.
Leather binding, personalized notebooks, photo albums and elegant storage boxes, all beautifully hand made.
It has been 15 years since I first visited, but I still have the photobooks and the pencil case they made for me, and they are still going strong!
Beautiful little shop that sells hand made leather bound notebooks and accessories. They can also bind books for you.
Great service! Gorgeous bindings! Killer prices
Nice place for homemade leather notebooks and books, you can even make your own customized notebook
They do great work, but you may need to (1) remind them to do the work and (2) be patient about correcting the work they do when they finally do it.
