Granite from Egypt characteristics

Granite from Egypt is hard igneous rock formed deep underground from slowly cooled magma, made of interlocking quartz, feldspar and mica crystals. Egypt’s quarries, mainly around Aswan and the Eastern Desert, yield a distinctive palette: warm red and pink granites such as Red Aswan, grey and white granites such as Halayeb and New Halayeb, and darker speckled stones. All share high density, very low water absorption and excellent strength, which is why Egyptian granite has been used in construction since ancient times.

Properties and finishes of granite from Egypt

Egyptian granite rates around 6 to 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, giving it strong resistance to scratching, heat, frost and abrasion, plus low porosity that makes it easy to seal. Each colour is available in a polished finish that intensifies the natural tone, a honed matte surface, or a flamed textured finish for slip-resistant floors and paving.
