Fodor's Expert Review The House of Egyptian Architecture

Equally as fascinating as the displays on Egyptian architecture, arranged chronologically, is the 18th-century structure containing them. It's one of the best-preserved Islamic houses in Cairo, greatly influenced by the Ottoman and Mamluk styles. It was originally known as Ali Labib House, but came to be known as the House of the Artists, having been home to many local and international artists, including the renowned Egyptian architect, Hassan Fathi. The museum also conducts workshops and hosts lectures and cultural events.
