The Royal Jewelry Museum in Princess Fatma Haidar’s Palace in Alexandria is celebrating 40 years since it opened, showcasing collections that document the history of the Alawiyya dynasty, which ruled Egypt from 1805 to 1952. The palace, completed in 1923 and converted into an official museum in 1986, has 13 halls combining artistic decoration with rare royal jewelry and artifacts. These include Muhammad Ali Pasha’s diamond- and emerald-encrusted necklace and a gold chess set of 32 pieces presented by the Shah of Iran to King Farouk. To mark the anniversary, the museum launched a program of six cultural and community events, including competitions, an exhibition of children’s drawings, and activities introducing visitors to the history of the palace and its collections.
