Mausoleum of Saad Zaghloul

The Saad Zaghloul Mausoleum (Arabic: ضريح سَعد زَغلول) was built in 1927 to commemorate the late Egyptian revolutionary, Saad Zaghloul. It is located in Downtown Cairo, Egypt.

Overview[]

Built of granite, the mausoleum's design echoes that of pharaonic temples, with Arabic calligraphic engraving, with an outward-curving cornice and entrance flanked by two great lotus pillars. The mausoleum is built near Zaghloul's house, which is known as Beit El-Umma or the "House of the Nation". It is nowadays used as a museum in Zaghloul's memory, with his furniture and clothes stored inside.
