The Bayt Al-Umma (House of the Nation) Restoration project focused on the historic residence of Saad Zaghloul Pasha, located on Saad Zaghloul Street adjacent to his mausoleum. Saad Zaghloul moved into this house in 1902, and his wife, Safiya Zaghloul, bequeathed that it become a museum bearing witness to the struggle and sacrifices of the nation’s sons for independence and liberation. The government of the July Revolution declared it a national museum, housing furniture, personal belongings, important documents, photographs, a library of rare books, and numerous medals, honors, and personal gifts.

The museum was inaugurated in its new form on January 16, 2003, with the addition of an important cultural venue through the adaptive reuse of the house’s basement as the Saad Zaghloul Cultural Center. Restoration and development work began in 2023 with a dedicated budget, ensuring this national landmark continues to preserve and showcase Egypt’s struggle for independence and the legacy of one of its most influential leaders.
