Costumes in Cairo? Famous dancers shows?

[Belle_Elen]

Hi all! I'm going to Cairo in June and really hope to buy a designer costume for a decent price. I found some designers' names mentioned on this forum, like
Amira al-Kattan at Pharaonics, Meisson's and Outi's. However, I didn't find their web pages on internet....... Maybe somebody can recommend some affordable designers and their web pages if they know... I really hope to find something better than Khan El Khalil this time

Also, does anyone know how to book a show of Dina, Soraya and Randa Kamal? (maybe phone number or so...). I guess it doen't work like in the west, when you go to the booking office to buy a ticket or when you buy on-line.
Any help with these questions are higly appreciated guys :0))
Many thanks in advance :)

Dina was dancing at the Semiramis, Randa on the Nile Maxim, Soraya at the Marriott, as at the end of March. You can always ask your hotel to investigate shows for you, and book you a table.

Well, most designers simply don't have a website!
Here are all the address infos that I collected:

And you can find good stuff in Khan el Khalili, but it's usually not what is on display in the streets but rather on the upper floor.

Have fun!

Are you going to the Nile Group Festival? There will be lots of costumes to look at there, so you might want to check those out too.

Well, in that case . . .of course, try for other places.

I liked Hanan's costumes when I visited in April . . . I just bought a couple of the galabeyas but other ppl found some really nice things.
