The palace was designed by the French architect Rousseau along with a large number of Egyptian, Italian, French and Turkish decorators. Construction started in 1863 and continued for 10 years and the palace was officially inaugurated in 1874. It covers an area of 24 feddans. However, the palace’s garden was added in 1921 by Sultan Fuad I on an area of 20 feddans. The cost of building the palace reached 700,000 Egyptian pounds in addition to 2 million pounds for its furnishing. More money was also spent on the palace’s alteration, preservation and maintenance by consecutive rulers. The palace has 500 suites.

The palace today is a museum, located in the Old Cairo district of Abdeen. The upper floors that have been used for the former living quarters of the royal family are reserved for visiting foreign dignitaries. The lower floors contain the Silver Museum, the Arms Museum, the Royal Family Museum, and the Presidential Gifts Museum. A new museum, the Historical Documents Museum, was opened in January 2005.
