A neo-Islamic temple to Egyptian finance, built for the nation's first home-grown bank.
Built in 1927 for Bank Misr, the pioneering national bank founded in 1920 by the economist Talaat Harb, the headquarters was designed by the architect Antonio Lasciac. Its façades draw on Mamluk motifs and Islamic geometry, dressing a modern financial institution in the visual language of Egypt's heritage.
