Dr Mohamed Gamal Abdelmonem, Lecturer in Architecture, Queen's University Belfast, United Kingdom.

’In this book, Mohamed Gamal Abdelmonem, gives us a comprehensive, well-illustrated, and nicely written narrative of The Architecture of Home in Cairo. It is a thorough study of domestic space over many centuries with a clear account of the transformation that dwellings in Cairo have undergone in the past few centuries. That this comes to us from a Cairene who clearly loves his city is an additional treat allowing us to see with him how houses have been turned into homes over time in a city that never ceases to surprise.’ Nezar AlSayyad, University of California, Berkeley, USA
