| Zafarana | Warm beige, subtle veining | Zafarana, Red Sea | Interior and exterior design |
Galala Extra
A light beige marble from the Galala Mountain, where Egypt’s best-known marble quarries are. It is one of the most renowned Egyptian marbles and is used indoors and out for walls, floors and stairs. It costs less than imported beige marbles such as Spanish Crema Marfil and Turkish Calimera, which makes it a popular alternative for large floors. See Galala Extra.
Samaha
A beige marble from Egyptian quarries, close in colour to Galala and just as adaptable in size and thickness. It resists heat and humidity and is easy to clean and maintain. See Samaha.
Filetto
A beige ground crossed by elegant brown stripes. Its linear pattern gives floors and walls movement, and it is also used for stairs and house facades. It is affordably priced. See Filetto.
Melly Grey
A dark grey marble, and one of the rarest Egyptian marbles for its colour and appearance. It gives a luxurious look to walls, floors, stairs and facades, and contrasts well with the beige marbles in borders and inlays. See Melly Grey.
Zafarana
Warm beige with subtle veining, from the quarries of the Zafarana region on the Red Sea. It pairs a warm, natural look with durability, for interior and exterior design projects. See Zafarana.
