The Manial Palace is said to have been built for Prince Mohammed Ali between 1899 and 1929. The palace was given to the Egyptian nation in 1955. Prince Mohammed Ali is the first cousin of King Farouq and the younger brother of Khedive Abbas II Hilmi. The complex consists of six structures. Among these structures is a museum in which Farouq's hunting trophies are found, the prince's residence and furnishings and a museum in which some of the family's memorabilia are found.
