About this asset
Top-down aerial view of the enclosed interior courtyard (sahn) inside the Gayer-Anderson Museum in Old Cairo, comprising two adjoined historic mansions dating to the 16th and 17th centuries. Visible elements include a central stone fountain set within a tiled floor, carved stone arches, mashrabiya (mashrabiyya) latticed wooden screens on upper-floor windows, and potted plants placed around the courtyard perimeter. The museum, located adjacent to the Ibn Tulun Mosque in the Al-Sayida Zeinab district, is one of Cairo's best-preserved examples of traditional Islamic domestic architecture.
