Museum is free entry, on the 3rd floor. If the door is closed, just ring the bell. Museum is lovely and has hints on Alexandria along with showcasing the life and great works of the Alexandrian poet. Not a big museum, but try to be there early to avoid electricity cut out (@4 pm), and the guardian starts closing around 4:15 pm.

The Cavafy Museum is dedicated to the renowned Greek poet Constantine P. Cavafy, located in Alexandria, Egypt. It's housed in the apartment where Cavafy lived and worked during his time in Alexandria. The museum preserves his personal belongings, manuscripts, and memorabilia, offering visitors a glimpse into his life and literary legacy. It's a must-visit for poetry enthusiasts and those interested in the cultural history of Alexandria.

Constantine P. Cavafy is most probably my favorite poet so you can imagine my excitement when visiting his former home where he lived for the last 25 years of his life. I was pretty much awe struck, knowing that this was the street he often walked along, standing at the window’s he often stood at, looking out into his beloved Alexandria. Most of his furniture - seen in the old photo’s of the apartment - have gone although there still are alot of beautiful pieces, along with many writings and photos. Unfortunately they do not sell any books. The museum didn’t have much in English so I recommend using a translation app to scan the text into the language that you need. On the day I visited it was free although gave a donation. If you are trying to tap into a former vision of Alexandria, a former century, nostalgia, then you will find it here.
