"President Sadat is a historical model for my generation," said Nadia Faramay, who has visited the museum from time to time.
While writing on the guest book, she said she used to pass by Sadat's house, and once saw some world leaders walking with the president.
"For his modesty, Sadat was an ordinary man who served his country, not a president people fear to talk with," Faramawy added.
She expressed her joy when the museum was opened to watch the president's possessions closely.
"I felt proud when U.S. President Donald Trump has signed a law to honor former President Sadat on the 100th anniversary of his birth," the lady passionately said.
Earlier this year, the U.S. Senate passed a bill in August to honor Sadat's effort in maintaining peace in the Middle East.
The Egyptian embassy in Washington said in a press statement that the bill is "in recognition of his (Sadat's) heroic achievements and courageous contributions to peace in the Middle East."
Sadat is the first Arab president to ever be honored with such an award from the U.S. Congress. Besides, a gold medal was also given to his wife Gihan Sadat in recognition of her efforts to help maintain peace in the region.
Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi also hailed on Tuesday the "bravery and vision" of Sadat in creating peace in the region.
Sisi said that the 1973 war with Israel restored dignity for the Egyptian and Arab people, and paved the way for Sadat to make peace.
