With its high and beautiful ceilings built for Hathor, a major goddess that was a sky deity and the mother or consort of the sky god Horus and the sun god Ra. This temple is one of the most well-preserved temples in the country. The amount of detail and precision put into this temple is unbelievable. Every inch of this temple has been designed with beauty and perfection. It’s notable for having extensively preserved the designs that are blue, a color the Ancient Egyptians invented. It is also the temple where the Gemini zodiac sign was first drawn before the Greeks adopted it.

Built under the supervision of Italian architect Antonio Lasiac, one of the most prominent architects in the 19th century, the palace has long been considered one of the most unique examples of architectural fusion of European and Islamic styles in Egypt. The massive palace is also home to one of the first wooden elevators, which was specifically made for the prince’s ailing mother. As Prince Youssef was a renowned art enthusiast, traveler, historian, geographer, and explorer, the state-of-the-art palace will include a grand exhibit of masterpieces and rare collectables.
