Koubbeh Palace, Royal palace in Cairo Governorate, Egypt
The palace stands on 75 acres of land with external gardens and features architectural elements from the 19th century Egyptian palatial style.
Khedive Ismail acquired the palace in 1866 from his brother Mustafa Fazl Pasha and transformed it into a suburban retreat from Abdeen Palace.
The palace grounds contained collections of rare stamps, coins, and antiquities during King Farouk's reign before their auction in 1954.
The structure functions as Egypt's official guest house, receiving international dignitaries and hosting diplomatic receptions throughout the year.
King Fouad established a dedicated train station at the palace specifically for transporting visiting dignitaries to the complex.
