Bayt Al-Razzaz palace, Medieval palace in Islamic Cairo, Egypt.
The residential complex contains 190 rooms across four floors, with two central courtyards and multiple architectural elements from different periods.
The eastern section was constructed in 1480 by Sultan Qaytbay, while the western part was added by rice merchant Ahmad Katkhuda al-Razzaz in the 18th century.
The palace houses numerous Egyptian artisan workshops where local craftspeople continue traditional practices within its historical walls.
The eastern section underwent restoration between 1977 and 2007, while the western section remains in need of conservation work.
The complex features Cairo's largest surviving mandara, a traditional reception hall decorated with intricate wooden panels and painted ceilings.
