Rasheed Museum, a history narrating through collectibles and documents that highlight the struggle of the city's people

The National Rashid Museum is located in the heart of the city of Rashid, and occupies one of the most important and famous ancient houses in it; It is the "house of Arab Gali Hussein Bey", who was the governor of the city during the Ottoman era. The house was opened as a military museum in 1959 AD, and during 1986 AD the museum was developed and reopened to reflect the history of the city of Rashid.

The Arab Kelly house was chosen because it is one of the largest remaining houses in the city of Rashid, and for its distinguished location and archaeological value, to be a war museum for the city of Rashid in commemoration of the valiant city’s victory over the Fraser campaign in 1807 AD, and the delay in the British entry into Egypt due to the immunity of this western side until 1882 AD.

The museum was opened by President Gamal Abdel Nasser in 1959 AD during his visit to the city of Rashid during its celebration of the anniversary of the victory, and September 19 of each year is considered a Crimean holiday for the Buhaira Governorate to commemorate the occasion of victory.

It includes a hall for seminars, a hall for VIPs, a museum administration, a section for the restoration of antiquities, and the “Sabil Jabri” is displayed in the western outer courtyard of the museum as a model of the fountains attached to homes in the Ottoman era.
