About Kirdāsah
Kerdasa (Arabic: كرداسة, Arabic pronunciation: [keɾˈdæːsæ], Coptic: ⲭⲟⲣⲧⲁⲥⲁ) is a markaz in Giza Governorate, Egypt. It is famed for its hand-made textile crafts, woven carpets, and wall hangings in native traditional patterns. Kerdasa is a great place to find embroidered cotton, silk dresses (galabeyas) and other products. It is famous for trading fabrics nationwide, with traditional crafts, and handcrafted clothes and textiles, from dresses, galabiyas, etc., and is a popular destination for Egyptians before Arab and foreign tourists to purchase these products.
