    Beautiful palace and great art exhibit even if you not into modern art. The palace is breathtaking and some beautiful instagramable spots for those influencer type pics. Entrance was free and it’s open till 9pm.

    It's one of the most beautiful places in Egypt and has lots of excellent views for photographers as it looks over the Nile, it also filled with art galleries that are displayed in the palace rooms. The ground floor consists of several rooms and all filled with displayed art paintings. The stairs has a breathtaking glass window paintings. The upper floor has the same things. It's for free and the tour shouldn't exceed 15 minutes to avoid crowding. The view on the Nile is excellent 👌

    Totally worth the walk to Zamalek. Beautiful small palace, tiny garden, Nile view. The art is not amazing, but the house is nice.

    I visited it with my colleagues and doctors of the Faculty of Fine Arts. When you enter this place you will feel that you come back to the Royal age from the masterpiece of decorations, doors, and Decorative stained glass. Aisha Fahmy is the daughter of Ali Pasha Fahmy, Grand Yaoran of King Fouad I. Ali Fahmi Pasha, brother of Aisha Fahmi, built the palace in the classical style in 1907 by the Italian designer and engineer Antonio Laschak. The palace rooms are distinguished by the presence of paintings made of silk and linen, in addition to the presence of European decorations on the sides of the walls.

    Nice place that is worth visiting. The entrance is free; there is an exhibition of art work that is beautiful. Nile's view is gorgeous especially at night when lights reflect on the water.

    Aisha Fahmy Palace is a rare masterpiece with stunning architecture that makes you feel like you travelled backwards in time. The story behinds the palace and it's architecture is amazing. It's not my first time and definitely not the last. Highly recommended if you love ancient classy buildings.

    Charming architecture, beautiful pieces and free entry . The walls and ceilings of the palace itself has an aesthetic touch to it which i found very pleasing along with the river nile view. The art pieces change regularly . However there are many rules you need to follow like leaving your belongings at the gates , only a 10-15 minute visit for each the hall and the palace and you aren't allowed to sit on the benches. The Japanese room was closed during my visit , I hope it reopenes soon.

    Its pretty but there's no plaques to explain the art or the significance of the place. Most rooms are bare and dark. Yes its free to enter but not worth it

    The location is very nice on the Nile River. Unfortunately, administration and security are not as good as the place. The toilets are closed, we have to wait outside till 5 p.m. to allow us to enter, nice views on the river are closed by chains, security will shout if you tried to take photos near the river!
