The Manyal
Palace:
The
Manial Palace is said to have been built for Prince Mohammad Ali between
1899 and 1929. The palace was given to the Egyptian nation in 1955.
Prince Muhammad Ali is the first cousin of King Faruq and the younger
brother of Khedive Abbas II Hilmi. The complex consists of six
structures. Among these structures is a museum in which Faruq's hunting
trophies are found, the prince's residence and furnishings and a museum
in which some of the family's memorabilia are found. There are also
gardens that have beautiful plants and flowers that are worth seeing.
The palace also includes a collection of manuscripts, carpets, textiles,
brass work and crystal. Items that can be seen here are a table made of
elephant ears and a 1000-piece silver service. On part of the original
grounds a hotel has been built called the Meridian Hotel. |
