Egypt is considered as one of the richest countries in its national, historical, and architectural wealth, where one of this national and historical wealth is the royal palaces that were established during the reign of Mohammed Aly’s Family. The study focuses on illustrating the most important palaces in Cairo which were built during the period of Mohamed Aly’s Family that were transformed into schools.
The study spotlights on many palaces that were built during Mohamed Aly’s Family, and were turned into schools such as Khedive Tawfik Palace which was converted into Helwan School; Palace of Sultana Malak Jeshem which turned to Misr El-Gadidah Language School; Prince Omar Tosson Palace that converted into Shobra School; Saeed Halim Palace which turned to be Nasriyah Preparatory School and others.
The main data collection method involved in-depth, semi-structured interviews with government officials and experts at the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, Ministry of Culture, and Ministry of Education. The second phase involved two focus groups with the school administration of Misr El-Gadidah Language School that was Palace of Sultana Malak Jeshem, as well as supervisors from the Ministry of Communications that working currently at the school. The third phase involved a personal observation checklist in order to evaluate the current situation of those palaces.
The paper recommends that the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities should set up external and international exhibitions for the collectibles of the Royal palaces, which will lead to increase the financial resources, and that in turn will contribute to the restoration and renovation of these Royal Palaces.
