    A small and beautiful museum. The team that works there are wonderful, friendly and hospitable. They took us into the diverse library and the wonderful garden. I liked it very much.

    Wonderful experience! Me and my two friends aren’t even fans of Umm Kulthum but we had an amazing time. You get to see many old recordings, players and many important pictures for her during her stardom years. At the end there was an amazing documentary movie about her, for people to watch for free, a little theater. 5/5 experience.

    Umm Kulthum Museum Ticket price: 10 pounds One of the really important museums, which is why it is so beautiful The museum is really good and is an opportunity for those who have not seen Umm Kulthum on stage (Especially girls, they will like the contents of the museum very much in terms of accessories) You will see her clothes, accessories, and handkerchiefs, but in colors, unlike what you see in black and white only on TV And the best thing is that every corner of the museum, while you are walking, you will find a wonderful quiet music background surrounding you and following you in all corners of the museum. The first thing she will accept is her red handkerchief, her famous glasses, and a group of rare photos that you will only see in this place. After that, you will be afraid of the clothes that, no matter how old you try, you can never imagine what she was wearing other than when you see her in nature, or shoes and accessories, and every written dress she sang a song about The people who explain there have very valuable information, listen to them because you will surely be happy Address: 1 Al-Malik Al-Saleh Street - Al-Rawda Island - Al-Manial In the Minsterly Palace area Timings: from 9 am to 4 pm
