The Ismail Sidki Pasha Building
No. 17 Maa'had Al Swissry Street, Zamalek
The Nile-front Sidki Pasha Building, one of Zananiri's best known works in view of its complexity and landmark curvetures, was erected atop the garden fronting Prime Minister Ismail Sidki Pasha's villa. The Sidki villa was subsequently destroyed to make way for a garden which, three decades later was itself replaced by a tall building.
