Samira Layla Bakr

Weaving for 41 years in Heliopolis

  • 🇪🇬 Heliopolis, Cairo, Egypt
  • Old Heliopolis Shop
  • Since 1985
  • English
My trade is weaving. I opened my own shop in 1985 in Heliopolis and I'm still there most mornings. The best compliment I ever got was a customer who called me back 22 years later for another job. It has been a good run and I'm grateful for all of it.

More about Samira

Some of my old apprentices now run their own shops. I couldn't be prouder.

What gifts mean to Samira: A gift would go toward tools for apprentices who can't afford their own.
