Hi Helen;
I lived in Cairo for 15 years, so I will try to help you with this one.
The best thing to think of first of all is the bride and groom's economic situation. If they are very well-off then something nice for the lounge/living room is good (a crystal bowl, vase, etc.). If they are struggling a bit or just setting up their home, then anything practical (kitchen ware, table linens, cutlery, etc.) is good. You can ask them what they want or need, but they won't tell you. They will say that they don't want or need anything. Just stick with something for the home that is tasteful and you will do alright!

Guests will pin lavish gifts of money and plane tickets onto the groom's suit, and the bride is adorned with offerings of gold! The tradition of showering a couple with gold coins during al-zaffah serves the purpose of drawing guests' eyes away from the bride—even though play money, rose petals and chocolate "coins" made of gold foil are most commonly used for this purpose today. Customarily, the new bride accepts nuqtah, a gift of money that is slipped discreetly into a purse she carries with her.
