Shady Anwar & the
Soul of Zagazig
In the heart of Zagazig — a city known throughout Egypt for its vibrant commerce and warm community — Shady Anwar built a business that reflects the city's spirit. What began as a love for the artistry of fabric — the way chiffon catches light, the way satin holds colour — became Al Azhar Tex, a name synonymous with quality and trust.
Every roll in the gallery has been personally selected. Shady travels to meet suppliers, feels each fabric against the light, checks the drape, the width, the thread count. This hands-on approach — unusual in an era of bulk online ordering — is why dressmakers, fashion houses and boutique owners keep coming back.
"I don't just sell fabric. I sell the feeling it will give the woman who wears it." — Shady Anwar
The gallery in Zagazig is not just a store — it's a destination. Buyers arrive from across Al Sharqia, Cairo and beyond to touch the rolls, compare shades, and discuss the season's trending fabrics. The showroom reflects this: spacious, well-lit, and curated with the same care a jeweller gives to displaying gemstones.
