Heliopolis Palace, Presidential palace in Heliopolis, Egypt
The massive structure exhibits Moorish Revival architecture with a central hall reaching 55 meters high, supported by 22 Italian marble columns.
Initially constructed as a luxury hotel in 1910 by architect Ernest Jaspar, the building transformed into a military hospital during World War I.
The palace incorporates Persian, Islamic, and European Neoclassical design elements, reflecting the architectural diversity of early 20th century Egypt.
The palace functions as the administrative headquarters for the President of Egypt, with restricted access and heightened security measures.
The original hotel basement contained a narrow-gauge railway system connecting kitchens, storerooms, and staff areas for efficient operations.
