Egyptian Limestone
Egyptian limestone is natural stone quarried in Egypt, in warm beige, cream, ivory and grey tones with a calm, even look. In the stone trade many of these stones are known as Egyptian marble, and they are among Egypt's best-known exports.
Wadi Degla has quarried and processed Egyptian stone since 1980, starting with the first quarry on Galala Mountain. We cut and finish it in our own factories in Egypt and ship it as slabs, tiles and blocks to projects worldwide.

Limestone or marble?
Geologically these stones are limestones; commercially they are often called marble (for example "Galala marble"). Both names describe the same stones, so you can ask for them either way.
