Dr Atef abd el Hamid. He teaches at the cairo opera house.
He teaches the egyptian style. Much more classic than Naseer's style. this is his number. good luck

I agree with Bibo. Dr. Atef is the best Egyptian oud school.

I spent 6 months in Naseer Shamma school in Cairo, and depending on your teacher you can learn very different style there.
Of course I learned Shamma pieces, technical stuff...etc But my teacher there also opened me to an old school of playing and ottoman music.
This school is also a good way to meet with many musician.
