How it works

Warm welcome and intro: Meet your local graffiti guide at our Alexandria creative spot. We’ll start with a quick intro to the tools and some cool street art history.
Mastering the can: Learn the basics of spray paint control. We’ll show you how to swap caps for different line thicknesses and how to manage pressure.
Sketching your vision: Grab a marker or a pencil and sketch your ideas onto your canvas. Don’t worry, our artists are right there to help refine your design! ✨
The first layer: Start filling in your shapes with bold colors. This is where you get a feel for the flow and see your piece start to take shape.
Sharpening the edges: Use 'cutting' techniques to sharpen your lines and add shadows. This makes your artwork 'pop' and look professional.
Adding the details: Time for the highlights, 'bubbles', and those final artistic flourishes that make the piece uniquely yours. 🔥
Final reveal: Step back and admire your work. We’ll have a mini-gallery walk to check out everyone’s creations and take some epic photos.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be an artist to participate?

You don't need any prior art skills to join our Alexandria graffiti workshop! Our professional artists guide you through every step, from holding the spray can correctly to mastering different cap pressures. Most of our tourist guests have never touched a spray can before and they leave with a piece of art they're genuinely proud of. It’s all about having fun and being creative in a relaxed environment.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need for the ultimate street art experience. This includes professional-grade spray paint in a variety of vibrant colors, high-quality caps, protective masks, gloves, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the canvases or surfaces you'll be painting on. Just bring your energy and maybe some comfortable shoes you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on!

Is the workshop safe for tourists?

Safety is our top priority at Graffitifun. We provide FFP2 or FFP3 grade masks to ensure you aren't inhaling paint fumes, and we conduct our workshops in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces. Our instructors give a comprehensive safety briefing before we start, teaching you the 'dos and don'ts' of using spray equipment effectively and safely while exploring the creative side of Alexandria.

Can children join the graffiti workshop?

Absolutely! Graffiti is a fantastic activity for families visiting Egypt. We have special techniques and lighter cans that are easier for younger creators to handle. It's a great way for kids to express themselves and for families to bond over a shared creative project. We ensure the environment is controlled, supervised, and, most importantly, incredibly fun for children and adults alike.

How long does a typical session last?

Standard workshops in Alexandria usually last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of local street art, a demonstration of techniques, plenty of practice time, and the final creation of your masterpiece. If you're on a tight sightseeing schedule, let us know and we can often tailor the duration to fit your itinerary perfectly.

Is it legal to paint graffiti during the workshop?

While we love the spirit of street art, we only paint in designated legal areas or on mobile canvases we provide. This ensures your experience remains positive, legal, and stress-free. In Alexandria, we use specific creative hubs or private spaces that allow us to express ourselves fully without any legal concerns, letting you focus entirely on the art and the vibe.

What should I wear to the session?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes that you don't mind potentially getting a little messy. Although we provide protective gear like overalls and gloves, spray paint can sometimes find its way onto shoes or sleeves. Think 'casual and practical' so you can move around freely while you're reaching for those high corners on your canvas or wall piece!
