Sadat Museum

　　   The Sadat Museum is located in Alexandria, near the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, and opened in 2009 as a cultural museum dedicated to commemorating Egyptian President and statesman Anwar Al Sadat.

　　   Sadat was a beloved president of Egypt who, together with Syria, launched the Fourth Arab-Israeli War and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Tragically, he was assassinated during a military parade in Cairo celebrating the eighth anniversary of the victory in the Yom Kippur War. The Sadat Museum has become a must-visit destination for tourists in Egypt, showcasing items related to Sadat, including his desk, radio, ceremonial sword, clothes worn upon returning home in triumph, military uniform, pipe, and the uniform he was wearing when assassinated. Among the many exhibits, the most distinctive are a large collection of decorations, medals, necklaces, and many rare books—gifts from various countries to Sadat.

　　   Also on display are a cane and an Arab sword gifted to him by the U.S. Gulf States. Many items related to Sadat have been donated, including short stories he wrote, as well as audio and video recordings.
