Beit El-Sennari
Built in 1794 by Ibrahim Katkhuda El-Sennari, a Sudanese occultist, Beit al-Sennari housed French artists and scholars after Napoleon arrived. The house was restored in 1995, and opened to the public in 2000. The house is home to the Institute for Applied Arts, which has glassware, pottery, and other works on display. You can also see the courtyard and open gardens, and the various sections of the house.
Egyptian Parliament and Museum
For those who take a political interest take the time to tour the Egyptian Parliament home to both the People 454 members and the Shura Council 264 members - this is the epicenter of the Egyptian government. There are tours offered and a museum chronicling the Egyptian government. Note: Most likely not open, as a major fire occurred at the Parliament building in August 2008.
