Tahra Palace, Royal palace in Cairo, Egypt.
The two-story Tahra Palace features Italian architectural elements with marble staircases, decorated ceilings, and carefully arranged interior furnishings throughout its rooms.
Italian architect Antonio Lasciac designed this palace in the early 20th century for Princess Amina, daughter of Khedive Ismail and mother of Mohamed Taher Pasha.
The palace served as a gathering place for military strategy sessions during the 1973 October War, where President Anwar Sadat met with officers.
Following the fall of the monarchy in 1953, the Egyptian government converted Tahra Palace into a presidential residence and official guesthouse for international dignitaries.
The palace grounds maintain a harmonious connection between architecture and nature, with gardens surrounding the relatively compact building structure.
