Home of 1919 Revolutionary Saad Zaghloul Will Be Turned Into a Museum
Saad Zaghloul’s grandson has called for the preservation of the abandoned home, which had been in his family for generations.
The ancestral home of Saad Pasha Zaghloul - a preeminent figure in the Egyptian Revolution of 1919 against the British rule, leader of the nationalist Wafd Party, and Prime Minister of Egypt in 1924 - sits abandoned in Ibyana, a village in Kafr El Sheikh. Muhammad Naguib Zaghloul, head of the delegation committee in Kafr El Sheikh and Saad Zaghloul’s grandson, has called for the house to be renovated and turned into a museum.
Saad Zaghloul’s home is steeped in the history of the revolution and of Egyptian civil disobedience in general. By turning its many buildings into a museum, Muhamad Zaghloul hopes to preserve the legacy of his grandfather and introduce him to future generations.
