Abdelzahers atelier ( book binding and book store )مكتبة عبد الظاهر: what do users think?
chaïmaa C: Excellente qualitéJ’y ai trouvée une couverture en cuir
Mohamed H: Very nice and welcoming staff, respectful treatment, and implementation was carried out in a fast time with high quality.The idea of ​​​​implementing the doctrine is excellent, and the ability to see the implementation is an important and professionally executed point. The notebooks and paper products available are of very nice quality and varietyIf I had a note on the place, I hope there would be more diverse leather products
Farah Ahmed: Incredible place
Frank L: Fairly expensive for locally produced Egyptian products, but it remains fantastic value by western standards.You can expect journals hand-bound in soft leather and gilded edges for $10-$12. The shop is quite nice in offering juice boxes to its guests. The shopping process is also very unhurried and the staff is very friendly.The shop offers free embossing, which is offers a glimpse of the craftsmanship that goes into these books.
Nicolas Baquié: Excellent craftsmanship, definitely worth a visit for unique handmade gifts from Cairo.
Vladislav B.: Super place
Ruth K Wilford: Beautiful selection of handmade leather notebooks. Custom inscription included with the purchase, done in about 5 minutes. You pay for the quality you get, but these make great gifts (to yourself or your loved ones).
Haisam Foaad: nice placeIt has some collections of books and other things of valuetourist
Cesar Ternieden: Great service! Gorgeous bindings! Killer prices
Noha Ezz: 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.
Tina I. Nunn: Leather binding, personalized notebooks, photo albums and elegant storage boxes, all beautifully hand made.
Benoit-Marie FLACH: Endroit à ne pas manquer lors de votre venue dans le coin, je vous conseille de repartir avec plusieurs jolis carnets de notes personnalisés. Vous pouvez également visiter l’atelier de fabrication des livres, n’hésitez pas à leur demander !
Wael Foda: Can cover and bind books in leather
Hany Mostafa: Excellent
paul weiss: This shop is magic
Saloua El Chimi: The notebooks are unique!
Sertaç Sehlikoglu: If you want a unique handmade notebook with any personalised note, this is your place. I was informed about it by a friend and visited there 4 times in 4 weeks. I got several beautiful gifts for loved ones and myself. Highly recommended
Alex D: 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.
KARIM saeed: Very good
Andrew Blum: 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.
Jasmin Allousch: 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!

Christopher Shields: Beautiful selection of items, not touristy. Friendly staff and fair prices.
Stef Meliss: The cutest little shop to buy beautiful Egyptian made products from independent artists and craftspeople. If khan-al-Khalili is too busy for you, this is the place to go. We had such a nice shopping experience including fresh juice and 1:1 consultation on the origins of all the beautiful pieces, cannot recommend it highly enough!!
Lena Katende: Literally bumped into this hidden gem while looking for a grocery shop on the last day in Cairo. Conveniently close to Tahrir square. Crammed full of high quality artisan products from all over Egypt, you are sure to find some treasures to take home. I did! So, enjoy the Hibiscus welcome drink and happy shopping.
Reinhard Staudacher: Toller Souvenirshop!
Sebastián Dohnány: What a beautiful shop! Hidden on the first floor, away from the noise and mess, they have a great selection of items to bring back home from Egypt.

Gorgeous pottery, prints, baskets and textiles with information about the makers - very reasonable prices. Highly recommend!
Hadeel Abu Salih: Special handmade merchandise, the staff is really nice and helpful, if you’re in Cairo don’t leave without visiting their store.
mirella lefebvre: Située à deux pas de la place Tahrir il ne faut pas en rater l'entrée !Superbe boutique située à l'étage, vous serez accueillis par des vendeuses au charmant sourire , un verre de karkadé à la main.Les articles de cette boutique dont certains sont uniques, sont particulièrement bien choisis et font honneur au savoir faire égyptien : étoles, paniers d’osier, verrerie, poterie, etc..Un espace librairie y est aménagé avec des romans et des livres d'arts sur l'Égypte.Je recommande vivement cette boutique !

Inès Berber: Be careful the shop is hard to find if you don’t exactly know where it is (first floor just above the fruits juices shop) but it worths it!! You had a good time and find a lot of beautiful artisanal souvenirs from Egypt, at a reasonable price. They speak English and even good French.
bruno decottignies: Très belle boutique dont l'une des aimables vendeuses parle le français couramment
Little Cub: Lovely handicrafts from all over Egypt. Fixed prices and very calm shopping environment if you’ve had enough of haggling! On the first floor (not obvious to find from street level).
D G: Relaxed shop with a variety of products. They let you browse and don't hassle you which is a relief. Good quality handicraft items that make good presents. They've got everything from books to scarfs, bags and mugs, and more. This is not a tat shop, but a shop that supports artisans. Prices are fixed so no haggling. Friendly staff.
Akos Kocsany: Best place to check if you are into some quality souvenirs. Very nice staff too!
Sandro Domenico Dorigo: So nice people here, nice things to bring back home, worth a visit

Diwan Bookstore: what do users think?
Maurizio Paolo Mariani: Bella libreria molto ben fornita con diversi libri anche in inglese. Noi ci siamo stati alla ricerca, come facciamo in ogni paese che visitiamo, del Piccolo Principe in lingua locale. Il personale gentilissimo ci ha assistito con gentilezza e disponibilità. Vale la pena farci un giro.
Waddah Awn: Readers can add this bookstore to their list. The place is nice and well organized.
Hakem Al-Rustom: Ld
Abdo Mohamed: This library is Ajammed
3mr haggag: The best place that can make you feel good just because you go for a walk, even if you are not going to buy a book
Hossam ElFarra: Diwan is more than a bookshop. It's got a pleasant atmsphere that makes you happy to stay there.
Yasser Rashad: معقول
Ghaith ahmad: Very beautiful
5a. hus: Back in the day, art, I visited them in 2019 and took pictures from the inside with all respect and calmness, and one of them came to me and told me it is forbidden, so I said I am filming to publish on Google and Snap and tell people that here is a library and there is a cafe for reading, and he said it is forbidden, so I said okay, and now.. they are looking for someone to advertise for them 🤣
لبيب البرمي: very wonderful
Apmazen Mazen: One of the beautiful places
L A: I love it here. You can browse their huge selection of books (English/ Arabic/ Kids) and enjoy a coffee. It’s the only time you won’t get hassled in Egypt! 🤣

Al Kotob Khan Bookshop: what do users think?
Stephen T: What a lovely bookshop. It's a really nice space with seats outside in the garden for reading, working, and drinking coffee. The staff are really nice and helped me pick out some great books!
Lara Aasem: Amazing bookstore and space with a great collection of Arabic translations of important works in social science and literature, as well as publications by their own publishing house.
Areen Iftikhar: Cute bookstore with mostly Arabic publications and a small English section. The management is very kind.
alaa aljomaa: Very nice library with a lot of books flavor,but the guy there tried to charge me five times over the price, I recommend the place but be careful
Luke: great bookstore, I've never tried the mini cafe, I see some negative reviews about it, but the bookstore itself is great and quaint and staff was friendly
سيد سلاوي١٠: very good
Nouran Osama: I used to enjoy this place to have some time for myself and study and the minimum was for 50 EGP now its for 100 EGP.The bathroom wasn't really good and I had to go to Espresso Lab to use the bathroom.
Dr.Weaam Taha: Great place
Fatma Waleed: I used to love this place. They had good iced tea or coffee and friendly staff. You could stay there for 50 egp minimum charge from their cafe. But now it's 100 egp minimum charge. Which honestly, for the vibe, uncomfortable seating area, and lack of charging ports, i think that's a bit much. I've seen better service from other places with way lower prices. They could be good as a bookstore but not as a place to stay and work/study
Waleed Fikry: A warm elegant place, marked in the heart and mind
Omar Atef: Lovely place as usual but, last visit, the beverages could get better in both quality & variety.
Ola Hamouda: Cozy book corner-store.
Keshk: One of the best bookshops in Maadi; calm, lots of books in different genres and languages ( mainly arabic and english ), there's even like a mini café to eat a snack or drink coffee/tea. I obviously recommend it.
Carol M: Used to love this place Id go there and work all day it is quite and calm.. they have a good collection of books as well but recently its been deserted.. maybe the price per hour has been raised up
Nehad Radi: Lovely place. Very quiet, perfect for working or studying. Drinks are good too.
Ahmed Elhagry: For all who love books and readingThat's the right placeGo ahead
fayza aboelghiet: Book prices are high, but the place is good
Mohamed Elkomy: Beautiful
Omar Khalifa: Nice quiet place to sit and study or read.
Mahmoud Abdelwahab: A classy library and a respected publishing house in Maadi
mohamed adel: External bookstore
