A black-and-white cat sits framed beneath an antique carved wooden sofa inside Beit Al-Suhaimi (بيت السحيمي), a restored Ottoman-era merchant house in the Al-Gamaliya district of Islamic Cairo. The sofa features a decorative arched opening with detailed woodwork typical of traditional Egyptian Islamic interior craftsmanship. The stone-paved floor and aged wood surfaces reflect the authentic historic character of the 17th-century residence, now a heritage museum open to the public.
