How to Book a Visit to Abdel Halim Hafez’s House in Zamalek

Ever dreamed of stepping inside Abdel Halim Hafez’s house in Zamalek? Well, now you actually can. The doors of Egypt’s beloved Nightingale’s house have officially reopened, and fans are already rushing to grab a slot. But before you head to the leafy streets of Zamalek, here’s exactly how you can secure your visit.

Step 1: Know the Rules

Visits are only allowed on select mornings, no Wednesdays, no Fridays. And here’s the big one: no walk-ins. If you show up without a booking, you won’t get in.

Step 2: How to Book

Forget phone calls or random DMs; there’s just one way. Go straight to the family’s official Facebook page and send them a direct message to book your spot. That’s it. Quick, simple, official.

Step 3: Timing Is Everything

The hype is real. Last round of appointments (up until November 13) sold out in under an hour. Your next chance? Saturday, November 8, 2025, when the family opens bookings for the second half of November and the first half of December. Set a reminder if you don’t want to miss it.

Why It Matters

This isn’t just about nostalgia. The bigger mission is to have Halim’s House recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You can actually help by leaving a review on Google. Every voice counts.

And it’s not just Egyptians lining up. Over the past three months, delegations from Qatar (21%), Iraq (17%), Kuwait (13%), Saudi Arabia (12%), and even Germany (7%) have toured the house. Halim’s magic clearly travels far.

So, would you visit the house of Al Andalib? If yes, you know exactly how to book now.
