Abdel Halim Hafez's home closed to public

The family of artist Abdel Halim Hafez has decided to permanently close his residence in the Zamalek neighborhood of Cairo to the public. It is no longer open for visits except to close family and close friends, in accordance with his will to preserve his personal belongings from damage or misuse. The house had remained open for over 50 years despite the family's great efforts to keep it alive, but they have now chosen to close it to prevent vandalism, especially after repeated attempts by visitors to tamper with its contents. The family emphasized that the home will remain designated for family and close friends only, and that this decision is final and it will not be reopened. Their focus is on protecting Hafez's artistic legacy. Additionally, the family expressed their desire to produce a feature film about his life and are willing to support filming inside the house to add authenticity and realism to the project.
