Sultana Malak Palace, Royal palace in Heliopolis, Cairo, Egypt.

The palace displays European architectural elements across its exterior, featuring high ceilings, ornate windows, and geometrical decorative patterns throughout the structure.

Belgian engineer Édouard Empain designed this residence in 1908 as a gift for Sultan Hussein Kamel, who later decided to purchase it instead.

The building serves as an example of early 20th-century Egyptian architecture, combining traditional Islamic designs with European construction techniques.

Visitors can access the palace through Orouba Street in Heliopolis, where regular guided tours explain the architectural details and historical significance.

After serving as a royal residence until 1960, the structure transformed into a school before receiving archaeological monument status in 2000.
