History
A vibrant hub for culture, lifestyle and community
Located at 17 Gawad Hosny street, Abdul-Aziz Radwan Bey (commercially known as Tamara) building was first completed in 1910 with a three-floor neo-renaissance architecture style. In 1912, two additional floors were added to the building. The building was first owned by Banque Misr, but in 1919, the ownership was transferred to Emili Jalica, who later sold it to Abdul-Aziz Radwan Bey in 1925.
The Process
Restoration Process
Al Ismaelia acquired the building in 2009 and restored it in 2022. The building features four floors, along with a basement and a rooftop. Operated by Alchemy Experience, TamaraHaus blends design, art, retail, F&B, and hospitality into a vibrant cultural hub. At its center lies Tchai, a teahouse and courtyard celebrating cuisine, culture, and community. In 2025, TamaraHaus received Egypt’s “Best Practices in Architectural and Urban Heritage Preservation” award under the Ministry of Culture’s patronage.
The Process
Future Plans
By 2026, the property will evolve into a landmark of boutique hospitality with 26 suites, a dedicated fitness studio, and a rooftop restaurant that frames the grandeur of Downtown Cairo’s skyline against the night sky, designed and operated by Alchemy Experience in partnership with Al Ismaelia.
