About
At Egyptian Souvenirs by Waj, we don’t just sell gifts, we bring history to life.
Every product we create is more than an item to hold… it’s a story to experience, a memory to keep, and a bridge that connects you directly to the magic of ancient Egypt.
Born in Upper Egypt and crafted by skilled local artisans, many of them inspiring women.
Our work blends authentic heritage, creative design, and eco-friendly craftsmanship. The result? Handcrafted souvenirs, educational games, and heritage-inspired gifts that you’ll love to use, gift, and treasure.
Our Story
Waj began with a simple question: How can we make the beauty of ancient Egypt touch modern lives?
Inspired by the walls of Luxor, Aswan, Esna, and Saqqara, we wanted to take the timeless myths, hieroglyphs, and art of Egypt and turn them into something people everywhere could touch, play, and learn from.
Founded by heritage educators and cultural tourism experts, Waj isn’t just a brand, it is a storytelling journey. Every product is a way to feel what it was like to be in the world of Tutankhamun, Nefertari, and the scribes of the Nile.
