The Nation's House Museum, located on Saad Zagloul Street in Cairo, was once the residence of Saad Pasha Zaghloul, one of Egypt's prominent leaders. Built in 1901 and transformed into a museum after the death of his wife, Safiya Zaghloul, the museum offers a glimpse into the personal and political life of the Zaghloul family. The house, designed by Mustafa Fahmy with pharaonic architectural influences, houses over 750 artifacts spread across three floors, including French and Arab furniture, fine artwork, and personal items of Saad Zaghloul. The museum not only showcases his contributions to Egypt's political landscape but also reflects the lifestyle and legacy of the Zaghloul family, with displays of items such as the winter salon, dining room, and political salon where Wafd Party discussions took place.

    NOT A MUSEUM! It is a mausoleum. It cost me EL 10 to have a quick look around. In a small park in a scruffy area. An unusually large pile of rubbish and an interesting collection of street dogs. You might prefer to go to Beanos!

    The house of Saad Zaghlool is an important place to visit. From inside the house every thing is well maintained. But the real problem is where the house is located. Too much traffic. Hawkers around the house!

    Dışarıdan mimarisi çok güzel görünüyor içerisini bilmiyorum O you wretches! This world is a guest-house. Every day thirty thousand witnesses put their signature to the decree "Death is a reality" with their corpses, and they testify to the assertion. Can you kill death? Can you contradict these witnesses? Since you can't, death causes people to say: "Allah! Allah!" Which of your guns and cannons can illuminate the everlasting darkness confronting someone in the throes of death in place of "Allah! Allah!", and transform his absolute despair into absolute hope? Since there is death and we shall enter the grave, and this life departs and an eternal life comes, if guns and cannons are said once, "Allah! Allah!" should be said a thousand times. And if it is in Allah's way, the gun also says "Allah!", and the cannon booms "Allahu Akbar!" It breaks the fast with "Allah," and starts it...

Bu dünya bir misafirhanedir. Her günde otuzbin şahid, cenazeleriyle "El-mevtü hak" hükmünü imza ediyorlar ve o davaya şehadet ediyorlar. Ölümü öldürebilir misiniz? Bu şahidleri tekzib edebilir misiniz? Madem edemiyorsunuz; mevt, Allah Allah dedirtir. Sekeratta Allah Allah yerine; hangi topunuz, hangi tüfeğiniz, zulümat-ı ebedîyi o sekerattakinin önünde ışıklandırır, ye's-i mutlakını ümid-i mutlaka çevirebilir? Madem ölüm var, kabre girilecek; bu hayat gidiyor, bâki bir hayat geliyor. Bir defa top tüfek denilse; bin defa Allah Allah demek lâzım gelir. Hem Allah yolunda olsa; tüfek de Allah der, top da Allahu Ekber diye bağırır, Allah ile iftar eder, imsak eder. Mektubat - 438 Now consider the springs, the streams, and the rivers! Their welling-up out of the ground and out of mountains is not by chance. For it is demonstrated by the testimony of their benefits and fruits, the works of Divine mercy, and by the statement of their being stored up in mountains with the balance of wisdom in proportion to need, that they are subjugated and stored up by an All-Wise Sustainer, and that their flowing forth is their conforming exuberantly to His command. Words - 702 Ey dünyaperest insan! Çok geniş tasavvur ettiğin senin dünyan, dar bir kabir hükmündedir. Fakat, o dar kabir gibi menzilin duvarları şişeden olduğu için birbiri içinde in'ikas edip göz görünceye kadar genişliyor. Kabir gibi dar iken, bir şehir kadar geniş görünür. Lemalar - 136
