Egypt is the closest thing the Syrian diaspora has to a neighbouring home. Hundreds of thousands settled here after 2012, concentrated in 6th of October City, Nasr City, Obour and Alexandria — enough of them, densely enough, that whole commercial streets are Syrian: bakeries, sweet shops, restaurants, textile workshops, all of it recreated within a few years.
It is the corridor with the least cultural translation needed and, often, the least money. Many families here are getting by rather than getting ahead, and what they send home is measured and practical: the specific things that are harder to find or afford in Syria than in Cairo, sent when they can be sent.
That shapes how this page should be honest with you. Jawlaha Gifts is not a cheap way to move money — it is a way to make sure that what you send arrives as goods, in your family’s hands, without passing through anyone else. If what you want is groceries on the table rather than a number in an account, that is exactly what this is.
No time difference to manage, no language gap, and a team that will tell you plainly what an order will cost before you commit to anything.
How it works
Choose what to send
In the Jawlaha app, pick the items and the shops inside Syria to buy them from, plus the recipient’s name, address and phone number — and a note for the occasion if you want one.
We send you one quote
Our team reviews the order and sends you a single all-inclusive price in Syrian pounds covering the items, the service and the delivery.
Pay by money transfer
Use the transfer method and recipient details our team confirms with your quote, then send us the transfer number and a photo of the receipt.
We buy it and deliver it
Once the transfer is confirmed, a Jawlaha driver buys everything from the shops and hands it to your family at their door inside Syria.
The price comes in Syrian pounds
You think in Egyptian pounds; the quote comes in Syrian pounds, because that is what the shopping and the delivery cost there. One all-inclusive figure comes to you before you transfer anything, so nothing is a surprise.
Paying by money transfer
Payment is by prepaid money transfer. Before sending money, check the available transfer method and recipient details with our team. With your quote, we confirm how to send it from Egypt and what details you need. Nothing starts until the transfer is confirmed.
