The Beit as-Sinnari was built in 1794
by Prince Ibrahim Katkhuda as-Sinnari. The house was
built as a residence for the scholars and scientists of
the Egypt Expedition's scientific mission. The building
is very typical of the Cairene houses of that time. There
are several rooms as well as a reception areas that are
joined by series of stairways and passages that make up
the harem suite. The main reception area overlooks the
courtyard and the street. The second reception area on
the west looks over the courtyard.
