The Urban Centre for Women is a project located in Siald Badran Street, Karnak, Luxor, Egypt, very near to Karnak Temple, and it provides training for local women in a variety of crafts, such as Pottery, Embroidery and Dressmaking, Metalwork, Weaving etc. The women work there 6 days a week and make a huge variety of items for the centre to sell to raise funds to continue their wonderful work. In a
ddition to the training they receive the women are also given a small salary. The centre welcomes visitors at any time during the opening hours (No appointment necessary) and Mr Mansour, the centre manager will give you a guided tour. The prices of the crafts made vary depending on size and work involved but are inexpensive, starting from as little as 5 Egyptian Pounds and all the money raised goes back into funding the centre. If anyone is interested in making a regular or one-off donation towards the work of the centre please just send us a message on this page we can give you the details of the centre's bank account.
