Beit El-Umma, Historical museum in Mounira, Cairo, Egypt

Beit El-Umma exhibits personal belongings, photographs, and documents that belonged to Egyptian nationalist leader Saad Zaghlul in his former residence.

The mansion, constructed at the start of the 20th century, became the headquarters for the Wafd Party during Egypt's independence movement.

The building combines European and Arab architectural styles, featuring Louis XV reception rooms, an Art Nouveau dining room, and traditional Arab living spaces.

Located next to Saad Zaghloul Metro Station, the museum operates daily from 10 AM to 5 PM, offering access to multiple exhibition rooms.

The museum houses a collection of 5,000 books and contains Turkish baths that reflect the lifestyle of Egyptian political figures from the 1900s.
