The Mostafa Kamel Museum takes you through an important chapter in the history of the Egyptian national movement, documenting the life of the nationalist leader Mostafa Kamel and his role in resisting the British occupation and championing the national cause. The museum is in the Citadel area near Salah El-Din Square, in a building with a distinctive Islamic style and a dome that adds to its historical and architectural value.
