The Royal Jewelry Museum, located in the Zizenia neighborhood of Alexandria, is housed in the former palace of Princess Fatma Al-Zahra. The museum, inaugurated in 1986 and reopened after extensive renovations in 2010, showcases an extensive collection of jewelry and artifacts from the Muhammad Ali Dynasty, which ruled Egypt from 1805 until 1952. It also displays 19th-century paintings, sculptures, and decorative arts. The palace itself, built in 1919, is known for its European-style architecture, with its walls and ceilings adorned with oil paintings and lead-inlaid glass windows. The museum offers a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of Egypt's royal family and their artistic legacy.

    Title: Royal Bling and Historical Zing at Alexandria's Royal Jewelry Museum Review: When I stepped into the Royal Jewelry Museum in Alexandria, I was mesmerized by the emerald and diamond necklace once owned by Muhammad Ali Pasha. It sparkled with such intensity that it seemed like a piece straight out of a fairytale—an artifact so regal it commanded the room. As I explored further, I stumbled upon the gold opera glasses studded with diamonds and rubies. I couldn't help but imagine myself at a grand opera, viewing the stage through those luxurious lenses, even though my singing voice is undoubtedly better suited for shower performances! This whimsical moment made my visit not only educational but also personally delightful. The museum is a veritable showcase of opulence, with each hall telling the rich stories of Egypt's past rulers and the skilled artisans who brought their lavish visions to life. If you're looking to be dazzled, entertained, and educated all at once, the Royal Jewelry Museum is an absolute must-visit. Trust me, your inner royalty will thank you for the experience. You'll leave with photos and stories that feel as rich as the jewels on display.

    The museum is just beautiful, the interior design of castle itself is a museum, with all the paintings, designs on the walls and doors, lighting experience and all the showcased jewelry and personal belongings are beautifully displayed. One small comment, the staff are very loud, and they kept arguing the whole time.
