Facts and practical information

The Bayt al-Razzaz Palace or Beet El Razzaz is a mansion, in the heart of medieval Cairo, Egypt, constructed from the late 15th century through the late 18th century. The 190-room urban palace in the Darb al-Ahmar neighborhood of medieval Cairo was abandoned in the 1960s, but a restoration project rehabilitated the eastern building between 1977 and 2007. The property belongs to the Ministry of State for Antiquities which has plans to restore the western complex. It's also currently a place of many Egyptian craftsmen and women, with many local-artistic workshops. ()
