History was made in this house, it is from this office the decisions that have shaped the country's destiny were taken, he said.
Egypt’s second president, Abdel Nasser led the country during the 1952 revolution, which ended with the monarchy’s abdication and established a new government in Egypt. Among his main achievements were the nationalization of the Suez Canal and building the High Dam at Aswan.
The museum will showcase Abdel Nasser’s personal belongings, including the medallions that he received during his military service, home furniture and draft speeches and official letters.
Abdel Nasser’s children, Hoda and Abdel Hakim, are helping to establish and renovate the museum.

It also displays the speeches Abdel Nasser gave when he nationalized the Suez Canal and at his stepping down in 1967.
