The Sakakini Palace in Cairo
Return to the Tour Egypt Feature Story, The Sakakini Palace in Cairo
The Sakakini Palace is a hidden wonder among many in Cairo, now open to the public and perhaps very soon to become a museum related to ancient health care.

Congratulations Egypt! I am very happy to hear that the Sakakini Palace has been renovated and open to the public. It was in a very bad shape when I visited with my family from the United States in 1997. Looking forward to visit it again very soon. I feel so proud when I share with my students the history of the family and use your web-site to show pictures of the Palace. Thank you

Glad to hear that Sakakini palace has been renovated.
I was born in Cairo in 1950 and my parents left in late 1956. Although I was just a child I do remember the view of the palace from our 2nd floor apartement at the corner of Sakakini street.
