Aisha Fahmy Palace- Travel Tips What to See, How to Plan & Tours: Historical & Cultural; Egypt; 5 Reviews

Suggested Duration: 3 hours

Aisha Fahmy Palace in Cairo, built in 1907 by Italian architect Antonio Lasciac, is a stunning example of early 20th-century architecture. Originally the residence of Princess Aisha Fahmy, the 2700m² palace features luxurious interiors, with silk, linen, and European furnishings. After careful restoration, it now functions as a museum, showcasing exhibitions of plastic art in its basement hall. Transitioning into a public cultural venue in 1958 and later becoming part of the Arts and Literature Association in 1975, the palace remains an important site for artistic expression and cultural engagement.

Great experience, impressive story, but the place is totally not kids friendly, as there were alone of pictures for naked women for the Egyptian artist Saeed Mahmoud

The location is very nice on the Nile River. Unfortunately, administration and security are not as good as the place. The toilets are closed, we have to wait outside till 5 p.m. to allow us to enter, nice views on the river are closed by chains, security will shout if you tried to take photos near the river!

Aisha Fahmy Palace is a rare masterpiece with stunning architecture that makes you feel like you travelled backwards in time. The story behinds the palace and it's architecture is amazing. It's not my first time and definitely not the last. Highly recommended if you love ancient classy buildings.

It's one of the most beautiful places in Egypt and has lots of excellent views for photographers as it looks over the Nile, it also filled with art galleries that are displayed in the palace rooms. The ground floor consists of several rooms and all filled with displayed art paintings. The stairs has a breathtaking glass window paintings. The upper floor has the same things. It's for free and the tour shouldn't exceed 15 minutes to avoid crowding. The view on the Nile is excellent 👌

It's was very nice even if you're not into art, but I liked many painting. I was impressed with how the painting look so different when you take a closer look at them. You can enter for free. Only photos without flash are allowed. You can take great photos outside too after you finish your tour. It's open for limited hours.
