Located on the same street “Khayamiya Street”, in the heart of old Cairo, these talented artists sit quietly working their magic on each piece of fabric, transforming it to an exquisite piece of art. Khayamyiya simply means Tent making. Years ago, tentmakers used to decorate tents used by desert travelers from the inside, to give it a delightful and a refreshing feel by using brilliant colors and designs.What is Egyptian Appliqué?
