The Art of Khayamiya
Khayamiya is the ancient Egyptian art of appliqué tentmaking, a craft that has adorned the streets of Cairo for centuries. The intricate geometric patterns and vivid colors tell stories of celebration, faith, and community.
At BAB ZUWEILA, we draw inspiration from these time-honored textile traditions, reinterpreting their geometric language for contemporary life. Each piece carries the spirit of the craftspeople who have kept this art alive through generations.
From the Heart of Cairo to the World
Bab Zuweila stands as one of the last remaining gates of medieval Cairo, a monument to the city's rich architectural heritage. Our name pays homage to this iconic landmark and the vibrant community of artisans who have gathered in its shadow for over a thousand years.
Every object we create is a bridge between past and present — rooted in the craft traditions of Egypt, shaped for the way we live today.
