One of the last standing Mamluk princely palaces, restored as a cultural retreat.
Built in 1352 by Amir Sayf al-Din Taz, a son-in-law of Sultan al-Nasir Muhammad, this is among the very few surviving Mamluk residential palaces in Cairo. After centuries of other uses it was carefully restored around 2005 and reopened as a cultural center hosting exhibitions and concerts.
