Cavafy's house on the second floor of an old building behind Sayed Darwish Theater in Raml Station in Alexandria has been turned into a museum.

The museum includes Cavafy’s burial mask, furniture and gifts from the Greek Church, his compositions, tapes containing his composing poems, handwritten texts, icons, and a huge folder called “Alexandria Guide” containing rare old photos. An oil painting of Khedive Ismail, who was a friend of Cavafy's father, and a black marble sign were placed at the entrance to the building that read:
