Very nice, but the rubbish not so far from the museum takes away some of the experience. I don't think Cavafis would be very happy in his grave.

His house is the museum. Walk back in history and have a glimpse into the rich cultural center Alexandria was years ago.

Cavafy Museum is in a side street behind the Alexandria Opera House. Approaching from the El Corniche side, go down El Nabi Danial, turn left at XXXPanda and then immediately right into CP Cavafy Street. The house is close to the corner. The flight of marble stairs up to the Cavafy residence is quiet and a breeze blows through it. In contrast to the bustle of the big metropolis outside, the inside of the house is quiet, peaceful and reminiscent of Cavafy's life and work. The audio story which runs while you walk through the house, takes a brisk walk through Cavafy's biography, reciting his poems at different points in the story. My personal favourite is "waiting for the barbarians", which comes through fluidly on the audio recording. Each room attempts to retain the era of the 1920s and 1930s (Cavafy died in 1933 of throat cancer), but sadly much of his furniture is no longer here. There are so many photos and drawings of Cavafy at various ages, taken or drawn by many photographers and artists. Some say he was not broadly popular in his time, but he was popular enough to evoke great interest amongst portraitists. The rooms, while simple, have high ceilings and the breezes easily blow through the bedroom and what must have been the sitting room, though the other rooms are humid and difficult to remain in for long. The passage way has many artefacts including his books of poems. This personal museum should be seen by anyone interested in poetry, by anyone interested in gay life through the centuries, by anyone interested in the history and culture of the Mediterranean. The museum is not easy to find and therefore receives too few visitors and too little income, as tickets are only 25 Egyptian pounds. Please go there. You will have a sense of Cavafy!
