The Albert Zananiri - Lucie Khoury-Haddad Building No. 7 Hassan Sabry Street Zamalek
Albert Zananiri, his wife Lucie and their two daughters Myrna and Nevine lived in the penthouse of their smart Zamalek apartment building. The Zananiri Building was subsequently purchased in 1961 by Sheik Saad al-Abdallah al-Sabbah, Crown Prince of Kuwait.

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.
