Shoemaking, done properly
- 🇪🇬 Cairo, Cairo, Egypt
- The Cairo Trades Guild
- Since 1981
- English, Arabic
I've worked in shoemaking since 1981. I learned from my father and passed what I could on to 2,430 apprentices.
Apprentices come in nervous and leave proud. That's my favorite part. I like to keep things simple and honest.
Hearing from old faces is the best part of my week.
More about Souad
Some of my old apprentices now run their own shops. I couldn't be prouder.

What gifts mean to Souad: I'd put gifts toward a new set of tools for the next apprentice.
