Tiring department store, Early 20th century commercial building in Ataba Square, Cairo, Egypt.
The Tiring Building features a five-story structure with open floor plans and four Atlas statues supporting a glass globe on its facade.
Established in 1910 by Austrian merchant Victor Tiring and designed by Czech architect Oscar Horowitz, the building opened in 1912 as Cairo's first department store.
The department store introduced European retail culture to Cairo, offering haute couture from Paris, English cloth, and German housewares to local customers.
The building connects old and new Cairo districts, situated near major landmarks and transportation hubs, making it accessible from various parts of the city.
During World War I, British authorities classified the building as enemy property due to its Austrian ownership, leading to significant operational changes.
