El Kahhal family has the oldest heritage in handmade rugs production and trading. Proudly still operating from the same factory and our oldest existing retail store in Khan El Khalili since 1936. Following the legacy of Wekalel El Kahhal est 1871 in the same historic area by our first generation in Egypt. 

As a result of emerging market needs and changing customer requirements, the fifth generation ‘Kahhal Looms’ was born. 

Kahhal Looms utilizes the family heritage, know-how and market experience to venture into developing new designs, contemporary techniques and sourcing unique products to accommodate the modern lifestyle and aspiring demands. 

All our product range is weaved locally by skilled labor from the finest materials creating unique one of a kind pieces and include fine hand-knotted carpets, hand-tufted rugs and Kilim.

In addition to the local production, Kahhal Looms sources select pieces from Turkey, Afghanistan, and India to widen its retail product scope. Focusing on customer service, the whole product range is sold in two flagship branches in Cairo and through large furniture stores throughout the country.

The company’s production and imported range is also sourced for residential and commercial projects especially for the hospitality sector.
