Royal Jewelry Museum
Located in a former palace belonging to a princess of the Muhammad Ali dynasty, this museum displays a collection of jewelry and ornaments from the royal family. Visitors can view pieces of jewelry alongside nineteenth-century sculptures and paintings. It serves as a record of the dynasty's wealth and artistic tastes during that era.

The museum is situated in the eastern part of Alexandria. From the city centre, you can reach the site via taxi or ride-sharing services. The journey typically takes 15 to 30 minutes depending on the city's traffic conditions.

Allow approximately 2 to 3 hours to walk through the palace rooms and examine the detailed jewelry displays and art collections.
When to Visit
Visiting during the morning hours often allows for a quieter experience. Like many popular sites in Alexandria, it can get crowded during national holidays and peak tourist seasons. The Mediterranean climate makes spring and autumn the most temperate times for visiting the city.
