Prince Amr Ibrahim Palace, Historical palace and ceramics museum in Zamalek, Egypt
The palace spans 850 square meters across two floors and a basement, featuring a marble fountain with blue ceramic decorations in its entrance hall.
Built in 1921 by architect Garo Balyan for Prince Amr Ibrahim of the Muhammad Ali dynasty, the palace became state property following the 1953 Egyptian revolution.
The building houses the Museum of Islamic Ceramics, displaying collections that represent the development of pottery and ceramic arts throughout Islamic civilization.
The palace underwent extensive restoration work starting in January 2019, with visitors needing to verify current opening status before planning their visit.
The architectural design combines neo-Ottoman and neo-Islamic styles with specific influences from Moroccan and Andalusian architectural traditions.
