Furniture in Egypt

[queenie40something]

Hi Rowaysat is an industrial area just outside Hadaba in Sharm. George may be abke to advise you if there is something similar in Hurghada. I would imagine they could make and ship furniture to Hurghada but then this will be extra costs for you. I dont know about the payments and this is what I need to sort out - maybe half on order and rest on delivery / installation?? I know I will be in safe hands as this chap has been at Rowaysat for many many years. But please be careful as there are rogues out there. I have heard of people that have given monies to a bogus Brit couple and they and the furniture were never seen.

Found a brilliant shop in Al Nassr Street run by a guy called Ahmed Samir. He has a place in Cairo too but has only been open in Hurghada for 2 months. His English is very good and he is so helpful - I've ordered everything I want at a fraction of the cost of readymade and it is done to my specific sizes. He even came to my apartment at DP1 and measured to ensure everything would fit and gave suggestions. You can either order from his shop using designs on show (choosing your own colours) or he will make anything. Company is called InDoors and is almost opposite the Metro Supermarket. Telephone is 0653548783 you can email with your own design and he will give you a price - can't post his email on here as it won't allow me too. Believe me I have shopped around and this is the best I have found! Stuff is made in Cairo and takes a couple of weeks for delivery but for the savings I made it is well worth it.

Hi Lisa thanks for that. Can you, if you dont mind, give us examples of what you have ordered and the prices he charged you. It may work out cheaper for us to order from him rather than Sharm and having it shipped over.

Thanks

Hi Alison - this is what I ordered - 2 x 3 seater sofas, 1 side table, 1 large glass coffee table, 1 TV table (made to measure), 1 double bed and mattress, 2 bedside cabinets, 1 freestanding large mirror, 2 twin beds (again made to measure), another bedside table, dressing table and mirror and got the lot for around 2K english pounds. I have been round alot of the shops in Hurghada and this really was the best in my opinion. Will let you know of electrical item bargains as and when I source them. I know that many of the others don't have the time to shop around when they are here due to restriced time so I've hopefully saved a few of them a trek!

Hi Lisa thanks for that and yes please keep us updated on anything else you buy and the prices.
Has anyone bought any washbasins with units, kitchens and tiles. If so can you give us an idea on costs.

Thanks

Lisa,
We are moving from Cairo to El Gouna in May. We already have a lot of furniture to bring with us which we did have made in Cairo as you said, at a fraction of the cost. We still have some stuff to get so we will try Ahmed.

Have you found anywhere for curtain fabric and anyone to make them up?
I use a guy in Cairo who is excellent (he did the curtains in the Movenpick in El Gouna and has also done some Nile cruise boats. He is willing to come to El Gouna for me and if there is nothing available in Hurghada I am sure he would be delighted to do business. He also makes sofas, armchairs, quilted beadspreads, re-upholstery indoor and outdoor.
