Habib Pasha El-Sakakini

Who they were

Habib Pasha El-Sakakini commissioned the palace bearing his name in Cairo’s El-Daher district in 1897. The surrounding square and neighbourhood also preserve his name. Cairo Governorate describes the residence’s elaborate Rococo character. His entry documents a private patron’s contribution to the city’s residential landscape; the palace’s title does not establish that it belonged to Egypt’s ruling dynasty.
