The Egyptian Postal Museum is located in Ataba Square, one of the largest and most important squares in Cairo. Established by King Fouad I in 1934, the museum documents the evolution of Egypt’s postal service throughout history. It also serves as the reference point for measuring distances from Cairo to all other governorates, marked by a star beneath the statue of Khedive Ismail. The museum was recently expanded from a single hall to fifteen halls, showcasing more than 3,000 documented and restored artifacts. These pieces tell the story of Egyptian postal history and correspondence from the Pharaonic era to the present day, featuring historical letters, documents, and means of postal transportation that shaped the lives of people in earlier times.
