Royal Jewelry Museum located in the former palace of Princess Fatma Al-Zahra'. She was the daughter of Zeinab Fahmy and Prince Ali Heidar Shannassi, who was a great-great-great grandchild of Muhammad Ali Pasha through his son Ibrahim Pasha. She was known for building a great multi-cultural designed palace. The palace was constructed by her mother Zeinab Fahmy in 1919 and was completed by her in 1923. The palace is considered a unique example of art and architectural design derived from a mix of European styles and the Islamic style.
