This historical museum, which is located in a former royal palace, dates back to the end of the monarchy in 1952. It is very rich in history, as the sons and grandsons of Khedive Ismail, who ruled Egypt after him, were fond of putting their touches on the palace and making additions that suit the tendencies and era of each of them. Its restoration was a comprehensive architectural and technical restoration. These works included developing and modernizing the Weapons Museum by re-arranging it and displaying its contents with the latest display methods, with the addition of a hall to the museum dedicated to displaying the various weapons received by the presidents of Egypt from various national authorities. It houses a large collection of weapons, medals, and armor used in that era, including knives, guns, cannons, and a gallery of medals. Visit it and learn about the life of Egyptian princes with your family or friends.
