Hadid is a center-pole umbrella for anyone who wants a sturdy frame for less than Wadi. Steel weighs more than aluminium, so the canopy stays steady in gardens and cafés in Cairo and the Delta. The trade-off is that steel needs more care near the sea: on the North Coast or the Red Sea we recommend Wadi, while away from salt air this umbrella serves for years.
