Our story

Growing up with New Cairo since 2004

A family stationery shop that started when New Cairo was mostly desert, and grew up with the city and its children.

2004

It started with sand and a big idea

Back in 2004, New Cairo was mostly desert and empty streets. Our family decided to start something small but meaningful: a stationery shop that would inspire creativity and learning in every child.

Our name

A name full of magic

Our parents named it “Alam Semsem Alageeb” to stand for imagination, friendship and the magic of childhood. A place where kids begin their journeys: drawing their first line, writing their first story, packing their first school bag.

Growing together

We grew up with the city

From a quiet neighbourhood, we grew alongside New Cairo into one of Egypt’s most vibrant cities. What started as a family business became a local favourite: a place parents trust and children love to visit.
