MOHAMMED ALI PALACE
Monuments to visit
Read moreThis beautiful palace built from 1808 to 1821 was designed by Pascal Coste, French architect. Located in the middle of what was once a large garden, three palaces were built: that of the fountain, that of the mountain and that of the tower. The best known of them is the fountain of the fountain (saraya el-fasqiya). As a square, a large basin is surrounded by a colonnade framed at its four corners of decorated pavilions, hosting the dining room, the Arab lounge, billiards and the Royal Lounge. There were sumptuous feasts and a boat on the pond. Another fun palace, called the mountain palace, looks like a six-degree pyramid, whose terraces are planted with trees.
