Website | Map | add to Travel Bag (NEW)
Built in the early 1900s, this museum was formerly the residence of Prince Mohammad Ali, the uncle of King Farouk. While it doesn’t draw big crowds, it is certainly worth a visit. However, the most interesting is the macabre Hunting Museum, which features hundreds of mounted ibex heads, ineptly stuffed fowl, a hermaphrodite goat and a grotesque necklace made of the heads of tiny birds. Animal lovers may prefer to pass on this section. Entrance fees: EGP 10 - foreigners EGP 5 - foreign students EGP 1 - Egyptians EGP 10 - with camera EGP 100 - with video camera

Jan 1st, 2009 to Dec 31st, 2009
The Mirror Hall is quite a fascinating one to be in. The walls have its designs personifying creativity. It pretty much has a living room format with chairs and sofas and also a tea table. Pictures of the great Ottoman Sultan are placed right above the furniture on the wall. And of course, the big mirror in the hall and hence the name.
The Throne Hall
Jan 1st, 2009 to Dec 31st, 2009
The Throne Hall is yet again one of the halls where Prince Mohamed Ali would be seated with his chiefs and have meetings and entertainment sessions. This hall is beautifully decorated with colors of gold, red and white. The furniture too is quite fascinating. The Throne Hall is supposedly one of the best halls in this palace.
The Winter Hall
Jan 1st, 2009 to Dec 31st, 2009
With beautifully designed Persian green walls, the Winter Hall has a soothing effect over one's vision. The greenish blue theme of this hall certainly gives a winter feel to it. Also in this hall, you'll find decorative vases which is one of the highlight of the hall. Moreover, the furniture is placed in a unique pattern. The Winter Hall will give you nothing less than a heavenly feeling.
TheFountain Hall
Jan 1st, 2009 to Dec 31st, 2009
The Fountain Hall is quite an innovative one especially with regards to its exterior design. The tiling of this hall is quite colorful whether it's the floor or the walls. The pillars personifies how big the hall is, making it look nothing less than a palace. Needless to say, that the Fountain Hall is called so because of the beautiful fountain embedded in the hall.
Eclectic and a bit bizarre
