SOUQ by Egyptra

Our story

Egyptra has looked after visitors on Egypt's Red Sea coast for years — the excursions, the airport transfers, the person who answers the phone when a plan changes. One question kept arriving on the last day of a holiday: where do I buy something to take home, without losing an afternoon to it?

The honest answer used to be a taxi into town and an hour of negotiating in the heat. From Nabq Bay or Sharks Bay that is most of an evening, and a fare that costs more than the gifts. For a guest flying at six the next morning it is not an answer at all.

  • What we built instead

    SOUQ is the bazaar with the negotiating removed. We buy from Egyptian workshops, print one price on the page, and drive the order to your hotel the same day. You open the bag at the door and pay the driver. That is the whole idea.

    It is not a marketplace. Nobody rents a shelf from us. We choose every piece, we own it before you see it, and if it is wrong at your door it is our problem and not a workshop's.

  • What goes on the shelf

    Everything is chosen one piece at a time rather than ordered from a catalogue. The test is simple and slightly unfair: would we take it home ourselves? Perfume oils, alabaster, blown glass, papyrus, hand-tooled leather and the spices actually cooked with here pass it. A resin pyramid with a sticker on the bottom does not.

What we will not sell

  • Souvenirs made abroad and sold as Egyptian.

  • Gold or silver we cannot state a karat and a weight for.

  • Anything priced by who is asking rather than what it is.

  • Anything we would not take home ourselves.
