Description:
- Built in 1814, this was formerly the residence of Muhammed Ali Pasha and the location where, according to legend, he waited while his forces entrapped Mameluke leaders and massacred them as they were leaving the Citadel. Its restored 19th-century Ottoman rooms now contain royal portraits, paintings, costumes and furnishings of the period. It also includes a nice garden.
