Prince Taz Palace
Al-Suyufiyya Street, Al-Khalifa
Step inside one of Cairo's finest surviving Mamluk palaces, where a vast courtyard, ceremonial reception spaces, decorated wooden ceilings and private residential quarters reveal how a powerful fourteenth-century emir lived and entertained.
Historical Overview
The palace was organised around a large central courtyard, with residential and ceremonial areas including the haramlik, salamlik, reception spaces, stables, storage rooms and service areas. It currently also contains the permanent exhibition 'Masterpieces of the Mamluks'.
