Suggested Duration: 2 hours

Prince Taz Palace, located at the intersection of Saliba and Suyufiyya Streets in Cairo, was constructed in 1352 by Taz al-Nasiri, a Mamluk official. Originally built to commemorate his marriage to the daughter of Sultan Nasir bin Muhammad bin Qala'un, the palace blends personal and political significance. Over time, it has undergone several transformations, including a 17th-century renovation under Khedive Ismail, which introduced new architectural styles. In the 19th century, it was repurposed as a girls' school, reflecting shifts in Egyptian society. Later used as a storage depot, the palace continues to reflect Cairo's evolving cultural and architectural landscape.

The place has really great vibes. I really liked it 😍😍😍 there are many beautiful tall palm trees in the centre. We had attended a concert there and really enjoyed it. I would recommend this place to anyone interested in history and especially this time period.

Nothing there just a lot of empty rooms, the place needs more care. The view from the roof is beautiful. Ticket price 10 LE for Egyptians.

It is a historical palace, that lies in the middle of Old Cairo. It is surrounded by many historical treasures, like Mohamed Ali Citadel and Sultan Hassan Mosque. Inside the palace, you can watch the Islamic great engineering that is visible in the walls, doors, windows, and even the ceilings. There, you can feel amazing spiritual vibes, and also you can take beautiful memorable photos. As a bonus, stay tuned for the concerts held there especially in Ramadan. It is an unforgettable experience 😉. However, try to go early so you can reserve a spot.
