Gamal Abdel Nasser Museum, Presidential museum in Heliopolis neighborhood, Cairo, Egypt.
The Gamal Abdel Nasser Museum is housed in a former president's residence in Heliopolis and presents his life and work across two floors. The exhibition spreads across around 1,300 square meters (14,000 square feet) and covers three main sections: his personal history, Egypt's development, and his collection of official items.
The museum opened in 2016 and preserves the memory of a political leader who governed Egypt from 1956 to 1970. During his time in power, he introduced major political changes that shaped the nation for years to come.
The museum displays personal items, photographs, and official gifts that show what life was like for an Egyptian leader in the middle of the 20th century. Visitors can see how these objects reflect Egypt's position and connections to other nations during that era.
The house sits in a quiet residential area and is easy to reach by car or public transport. The building itself is not very large, so a visit usually takes around two hours and fits well into a morning or afternoon outing.
The Presidential Hall keeps its original arrangement from when the leader received international guests, with furniture and decorations from that period still in place. This room shows the everyday setting of a head of state and remains unchanged to capture that moment in time.
