Translate oud label and information about the maker?

Hello All,

Can anyone translate this label for me?

Also, by any chance, does anyone have information about the maker on the label, including when and where he made ouds, etc.?

Thank you!

RE: Ataba: https://www.lonelyplanet.com/egypt/cairo/attractions/midan-ataba/a/p... Sometimes El Qala'a/Muhammad Ali St.--which is or used to be the "music store street"--is identified by the nearby Ataba Sq.

Thank you, Ali and John! A name, a location, and (from the telephone numbers) clues to narrow down a little when the oud was made! I found online that the telephone numbers in Cairo had all been changed from 7 digits to 8 by June 2007.

Thanks again, guys. I really appreciate your help.
