Coming to Every Corner of Egypt

Authentic Egyptian Art, Made in Cairo

Every piece we create carries a story. And that story is spreading. Scarab is coming soon to locations all across Egypt, bringing personalized souvenirs and authentic Egyptian keepsakes to every visitor, wherever their journey takes them.

THE MATERIAL

Real Papyrus.
Not Imitation.

Most "papyrus" sold in Egypt is not papyrus at all. It is banana paper or compressed card with printed designs, convincing to the eye, but carrying none of the texture, durability, or history of the genuine material. Walk through any tourist market in Cairo and you will find stalls full of it.

Ours is different. Our papyrus is grown and handcrafted in Sharkia, Egypt, one of the last regions still cultivating the Cyperus papyrus plant using traditional methods. Each sheet is made by hand, from plant to paper, preserving the natural texture and warmth that authentic papyrus has had for five thousand years.

When your name is drawn by Scarab, it is drawn on this material, the same one Egyptian scribes used in the time of the Pharaohs. That is not marketing. It is simply true, and it is what separates every Scarab piece from the imitations you will find everywhere else.

The Soul Scarab

More Than a Name. A Symbol

The scarab beetle has been a symbol of Egypt for thousands of years, representing transformation, protection, and new beginnings. We chose it deliberately. Because that is exactly what we believe a truly personal souvenir can do, mark a moment, carry a meaning, and keep a piece of Egypt alive long after you leave.

THE SCARAB EXPERIENCE

Watch Your Souvenir Come to Life

At Scarab, the experience is part of the gift. Our pen plotter technology brings together precision and artistry, writing your name or design in real time, right before your eyes. Every stroke is deliberate, every line a reflection of the care we put into each piece. It is not just a souvenir being made. It is your story being written.

We offer three ways to make your keepsake truly yours. Choose a personalized mug, printed with your name, a special message, or a phrase that means something to you. Opt for a name piece, beautifully inscribed in the spirit of ancient Egyptian script, capturing your identity in a way that feels timeless. Or discover your ancient Egyptian horoscope, rendered on papyrus and personalized to reflect who you are. Each creation is crafted on the spot, in front of you, combining cutting edge technology with Egypt’s rich artistic heritage to produce something no one else in the world will have.
