Old Islamic Cairo
Al-Moez Street It is one of the most beautiful examples of Cairo’s domestic architecture. It consists of several buildings overlooking a sizeable picturesque courtyard. The Darb Al-Asfar (the Yellow Way) where Bayt Al-Suhaymi is located, only meters off of Al-Muizz Street, became one of Cairo’s most wealthy streets, as well-heeled citizens competed for property close to “the Palace Walk”,Restored in the past decade after having fallen into disrepair during the 20th century, this house is now a beautiful example of medieval Cairo’s finest non-monumental architecture.
