This sabil-kuttab was built in 1828 by Muhammad Ali Pasha in memory of his son Isma'il, who passed away in Sudan. Its upper floors once housed the Nahhasin school, one of the early modern schools of Cairo. Since 2010 it has housed the Egyptian Textile Museum, with fabrics from ancient Egypt to the Islamic period. It stands on al-Muizz Street near the Qalawun complex.
