Mohammed Feiter Building is a building built in the early 20th century on Istanbul Street, Alexandria, Egypt. It is close to Cavafy Museum and Eliyahu Hanavi Synagogue.[1] It was built by a Greek resident of Egypt. It was sold to Mohammed Feiter, a tenant of the building, in 1965, following the Egyptian Greek Exodus from Egypt.[2] The facade was rebuilt by Mohammed Feiter, partially inspired by Italian architecture and Harrods, the department store in London.[3] The building is decorated with Mohammed Feiter's initials, "M. F".
The building is currently managed by a son of Mohammed Feiter and contains an antique store.[1][3]
