If you are comparing curtain prices in Egypt, the first thing to check is what the displayed price actually covers. A price per meter of fabric is not the same as the price of a finished curtain. A ready-made product may be sold as one panel or a pair, while a custom order can include fabric, tailoring, lining, accessories and installation.
This guide explains how to compare those costs and shows selected prices currently displayed in El Khawaga’s online shop. The product examples below were checked on 12 October 2026. They are a dated snapshot, not a permanent price list or a market-wide average. Always open the product page to confirm the current price, unit, options and availability before ordering.
Curtain Price Examples from El Khawaga’s Shop
As checked on 12 October 2026, these product pages displayed the following prices:
•0004 Printed Linen Fabric: EGP 140 per meter, reduced from EGP 186 per meter. The product page lists a width of 140 cm and says the fabric can be used for curtains and upholstery.
•American Blackout Curtain: EGP 495 per meter. The displayed price unit is “Meter.”
•Double-Sided Linen Blackout Curtain: EGP 750 per meter, reduced from EGP 900 per meter. The product appears in the Ready Made category, but the product page still displays its unit as “Meter.” Confirm exactly what is supplied before comparing it with a price per panel or pair.
These are individual product examples, not a typical finished-window total. In particular, do not treat a per-meter amount as the price of a complete curtain set. The amount of fabric needed depends on the window, fullness, fabric width, pattern repeat and selected design.
Browse the live El Khawaga shop and ready-made category for current products. Prices, sale offers and stock can change.
Per Meter, Per Panel or Per Pair: Check the Unit First
Before comparing any two curtain prices, confirm the unit shown on the product page. It may be:
•Per meter of fabric: the amount may cover material only. Tailoring, lining, tracks or rods and installation may be additional.
•Per curtain panel: check the panel’s finished width and drop, and whether you need one panel or two to cover the window.
•Per pair or set: confirm how many panels are included and whether accessories or lining are part of the set.
•Per square meter: this is common for some blinds and window systems. It cannot be compared directly with a fabric price per linear meter.
Some El Khawaga ready-made product pages describe a single curtain piece measuring 140 × 270 cm. For example, the Teenager Curtain listing identifies one piece and that size. Check each product page for its current price and whether the quantity is one panel or a set.
What Determines the Price of Ready-Made Curtains?
Size and number of panels
A larger window needs more coverage. A ready-made curtain is usually sold in a defined size, so check the finished width and drop before comparing it with your window. Also confirm whether the listed quantity is one panel or a pair. If you need two panels but the product price is for one, the final cost will be different from the headline amount.
Fabric and construction
Lightweight sheers, printed fabrics, linen-look materials, velvet and blackout products have different material costs and construction. Even within one fabric family, weave, width, finish and pattern can affect the price. Explore the curtain fabric collection and read How to Choose the Right Curtain Fabric for Every Room before choosing based on price alone.
Lining, heading and finishing
A lining, a specific heading style, extra fullness or a decorative finish can change the final price. Confirm what is included with the exact ready-made product. Do not assume that a product described as blackout or lined includes the same construction as another listing with a similar name.
Availability and current offers
A sale price may apply only to a selected product or color and can change when the offer ends or stock changes. Compare the live product price and its original price on the day you place the order. If a price appears only after selecting an option, check that option before calculating your total.
What Determines the Price of Custom Curtains?
Custom curtains are priced around the actual window and the specification chosen for it. A useful quote should make clear how much of the amount covers material and what is included in the finished order.
Fabric quantity and fullness
The fabric requirement depends on the curtain track or rod width, finished drop, fabric width, heading style and the amount of fullness you want. A patterned fabric may need extra material so that the design matches across panels. Use the curtain measurement guide and the guide to how much fabric curtains need to prepare, then confirm the final quantity before the fabric is cut.
Number of windows and layers
A room with multiple windows or a double-layer arrangement will usually use more material than a single window with one layer. If you want both a sheer curtain and a heavier outer layer, ask for the quote to show each layer separately. This makes it easier to adjust the design to your budget.
Lining, heading and tailoring
The fabric is only one part of a custom curtain. Lining, sewing, the selected heading and finishing details can all affect the final quote. Ask whether the price includes the completed curtain or only the fabric, and whether any special pattern matching or finishing is included.
Rods, tracks and installation
A quote may or may not include rods, tracks, brackets, fitting or installation. Ask for each item to be listed clearly. El Khawaga’s website currently promotes curtain inspection, customization and installation, but confirm the terms, service area and any charges for your order before booking.
How to Estimate the Fabric Portion of a Custom Curtain
Use this calculation for the fabric component only:
Fabric cost = current price per meter × required fabric meters
For example, using the checked price of EGP 140 per meter for the 0004 Printed Linen Fabric, three meters would cost EGP 420 for the fabric alone. This is arithmetic to illustrate the price unit, not a recommendation that three meters is enough for a particular window. The required quantity depends on the measurements, fabric width, heading, fullness and pattern repeat.
Then add the other items that apply to your order: tailoring, lining, accessories, rods or tracks, measurement or inspection, and installation. Ask for an itemized quote rather than estimating the finished price from the fabric price alone.
Ready-Made or Custom Curtains: Which Is Better for Your Budget?
Ready-made curtains can be a good fit when the product’s size and style suit your window. The product specification is usually easier to compare, but you still need to check the number of panels, the finished dimensions and what is included.
Custom curtains can suit non-standard windows or a specific combination of fabric, lining and finished length. The price depends on the actual measurements and choices, so it is best to request a quote using the same details for every supplier.
Neither option is automatically cheaper. A ready-made set may require extra panels or adjustments, while a simple custom design may cost less than a multi-layer or heavily finished ready-made product. Compare the complete specification and total cost rather than only the first price you see.
How to Compare Curtain Quotes Fairly
When requesting or comparing quotes, make sure each one is based on the same information:
•The same window width and finished drop.
•The same number of panels and the same layer arrangement.
•The same fabric or a clearly comparable fabric, including width and pattern.
•The same lining and heading style.
•A clear distinction between price per meter and price per finished panel, pair or set.
•The same hardware and installation requirements.
•Any delivery, measurement or fitting charges shown separately.
If one quote is much lower, check whether it covers fewer panels, less fabric, no lining or no installation. A clear like-for-like comparison helps you choose the option that fits your budget without leaving out a necessary part of the order.
What to Send When You Request a Curtain Price
To get a useful estimate, share the number of windows, your area, approximate rod or track width and desired drop, photos of the windows, and links to the fabrics or ready-made products you like. Mention whether you need a sheer layer, a heavier curtain, lining, rods or tracks, measurement or installation.
If you do not know the exact measurements, say so rather than guessing the final fabric quantity. El Khawaga’s curtain measurement guide can help you prepare, and the team can confirm which inspection or measurement options are currently available for your location.
Frequently Asked Questions About Curtain Prices in Egypt
How much do curtains cost in Egypt in 2026?
There is no single price for every curtain. The total depends on whether you are buying fabric by the meter, one ready-made panel, a pair or a custom-finished order. As a dated El Khawaga shop snapshot checked on 12 October 2026, selected listings included printed linen at EGP 140 per meter, an American blackout curtain at EGP 495 per meter, and a double-sided linen blackout curtain at EGP 750 per meter. These are product prices, not finished-window quotations. Check the live product pages before ordering.
Are ready-made curtains cheaper than custom curtains?
They can be, especially when a standard size fits and the product includes what you need. But a ready-made product may be sold as one panel rather than a pair, or may not include lining or hardware. Compare the full specification and total amount before deciding.
Is the price on a curtain product page per meter or per curtain?
Check the unit displayed beside the price and the product description. Some El Khawaga listings show “Meter,” while a separate ready-made product page can describe a single panel and its dimensions. If the unit or contents are unclear, confirm whether the amount is for fabric length, one panel or a complete set before adding it to your cart.
What affects the cost of custom curtains the most?
The largest factors are usually fabric quantity and price, window size, fullness, number of panels, lining, heading and finishing. Rods or tracks, measurement and installation may also affect the total if they are part of the order.
How do I calculate the cost of curtain fabric?
Multiply the current price per meter by the required number of meters to estimate the material portion. Then add tailoring, lining, hardware and installation if needed. Do not calculate the final curtain price from the fabric amount alone.
Does the price include installation or measurement?
That depends on the current offer, product and service area. El Khawaga promotes curtain inspection and installation on its website, but you should confirm what is included and whether any charges apply before booking.
Why do two blackout curtains have different prices?
They may use different fabrics, layers, widths, finishes or product specifications. Compare the precise product details and price unit rather than relying on the word “blackout” alone.
How can I lower the cost without choosing the wrong curtain?
Start with the function each window needs. Compare a single layer with a double layer, choose a fabric that fits the room, and confirm measurements before production. Ask for separate prices for fabric, lining, tailoring and hardware so you can adjust the specification without guessing.
