Hoodle, how long will you be in Egypt? If you have 2 weeks, and if you can place your orders on the first or second day you're there, there's a chance you can have something custom-made while you're there to take home with you.
If you decide to request something custom-made, tell them you're leaving town a day or two earlier than you actually are. Egyptian costume makers tend to run things up to the VERY last minute, and I've been known to spend almost my entire last day in Egypt sitting at the costume-makers atelier waiting for my costume to be done.
