Our story is
made by hand

Since 2018, Samawyat has made every magazine and gift by hand, in Cairo, one at a time, for one person and one moment. These are the people we make them for. Scroll down to begin!

A small room in Cairo with an arched window onto the old city, a sewing box and the first magazine on the desk

It starts
in Cairo

…in 2018. That’s where Sama Khalifa began Samawyat, making magazines and gifts by hand.

Every piece
by hand

…and it still is. We design, print and finish every piece ourselves, slowly, one order and one person at a time.

Hands cutting a photo for a magazine page, with glue and thread on the desk
Our graduation, birthday, best-friends and My World magazines fanned out

A magazine for every moment

…graduation and birthday magazines, best-friends editions and “My World”. Each one begins with your photos.

And gifts,
all by hand

…birthday and memory boxes, letters, keychains, wood‑slice portraits and a painted mirror.

A gift box, a memory box, a sealed letter, a fabric gift bag and a painted mirror
At the desk, a magazine preview on the laptop

It begins
with you

…with 25 photos, a front and back cover, the name, the date and your words. We send you a preview before anything is printed, and it’s ready in 7 to 15 days.
