Why Choose Al Khatat?

• Made in Japan Quality: Unlike generic markers that fray and lose their edge quickly, Al Khatat pens are engineered in Japan. The nibs are crafted from durable fibre that maintains a sharp chisel edge even after hours of practice on rough paper. This durability is critical for Arabic calligraphy, where a crisp edge defines the beauty of the letter.
• Engineered for Arabic Script: Standard highlighters or flat markers often lack the correct angle for Arabic calligraphy. Al Khatat nibs are cut at the precise oblique angle required to produce the fluid, thick and thin strokes characteristic of Arabic calligraphy without requiring the user to rotate the pen constantly.
• Rich, Consistent Ink Flow: Nothing ruins a calligraphy piece like a dry skip or a blot. Al Khatat markers feature a regulated ink flow system that ensures deep, consistent colour from the first letter to the last. The ink is formulated to dry quickly on standard paper, preventing smudges for left-handed writers and hurried students alike.
• Perfect for All Skill Levels: While traditional reed pens require constant dipping and sharpening, Al Khatat provides the same artistic effect with the ease of a modern marker. This makes it the #1 recommendation by art teachers across the UAE for beginners learning the basics of "Khat" before moving to traditional tools.

FAQs

Can I order Al Khatat calligraphy pens in bulk for classrooms across the UAE?

Yes — Al Khatat's pens are available in multipacks and assorted sets, making them ideal for large-scale school or office orders.

Are the Al Khatat pens suitable for both Arabic calligraphy and everyday writing?

Absolutely — with multiple tip sizes (1.0 mm, 2.0 mm, 3.0 mm), Al Khatat serves both artistic expression and practical writing needs.

How quickly can Al Khatat items be delivered when ordered through FEPY in the UAE?

FEPY offers UAE-wide dispatch and delivery — timing depends on your location and stock. Still, you can expect fast fulfilment across the Emirates.

If an Al Khatat product arrives damaged or incorrect, what is the return policy?

FEPY's standard returns and customer-care process apply. If you receive a damaged or incorrect item, you can request a replacement or refund under the FEPY policy.

Are there colour options available for Al Khatat pens?

Yes — Al Khatat calligraphy pens come in popular colour choices such as black, blue, red and green, and sets often include assorted colours.

Are Al Khatat pens suitable for beginners?

Absolutely. They are widely considered the best starting tool for Arabic calligraphy. They eliminate the mess of ink pots and the maintenance of reed pens, allowing beginners to focus entirely on learning letter shapes and angles.

Is the ink waterproof?

Al Khatat pens typically use water-based dye ink, which is vibrant and smooth but not fully waterproof. It is designed for practice on paper and standard art projects. For permanent outdoor signage, you would need oil-based markers, but for sketchbooks and certificates, Al Khatat is perfect.

Can I use these pens for English calligraphy?

Yes! While the nib angle is optimised for Arabic (right-to-left) script, many calligraphers use them effectively for Italic, Gothic, and Uncial styles of Latin (English) calligraphy, which also require a chisel tip.

Do the nibs wear out quickly?

Thanks to their Japanese manufacturing, Al Khatat nibs are significantly more durable than standard felt-tip markers. They retain their sharp edge for a long time, provided they are capped properly after use and not used on extremely abrasive surfaces.

What paper is best for Al Khatat markers?

They work excellently on standard A4 printer paper (80gsm) for practice. For final pieces, smoother coated paper (glossy or semi-gloss) allows the pen to glide more easily and keeps the edges even sharper.
