Where it is
30.0522, 31.2626
Why go
The house combines sections built at different times and takes its name from a later resident, Sheikh Muhammad Amin Al-Suhaymi. Its courtyard, screened windows and furnished reception hall reveal domestic architecture beyond the city’s monumental mosques. It is a house visit, not a district-wide attraction.
