After a short drive, reaching the Baron Empain's Palace reflects the giant status of its owner Edward Louis Joseph Empain, a Belgian businessman. He was awarded the title "Baron" by the King of Belgium based on his economic contributions and marked a significant milestone in the urban landscape Heliopolis.
It is a distinctive and historic Hindu temple-inspired mansion that stands out in the desert landscape Heliopolis, a suburb northeast of central Cairo.
The interior design of the palace consists of three floors topped by a roof. A large garden from all sides surrounds the palace. The basement contained a residence for the palace's servants and consisted of rooms connected by corridors and doors. In contrast, the palace's roof comes as an open space on one of the towers' sides, characteristic of the Baron Palace.
