Nomad Gallery

Bedouin jewellery and Nubian silver, in a Zamalek gallery-flat.

€€€ High end

A gallery specialising in traditional jewellery and textiles from desert and Nubian communities: old pieces, solid silver, embroidery. It is a collector's place as much as a shop, and you learn the origin of every motif.

The extra bit

Ask a piece's region of origin before buying: Siwan, Bedouin and Nubian motifs are not interchangeable.

Know before you go

Prices are gallery prices, not bazaar prices: you buy one piece here, not souvenirs by the batch.
