The dazzling jewels and treasures of Egypt's former royal family — crowns, diamonds, and gold — displayed in an ornate palace that is itself a glittering work of art.مجوهرات وكنوز أسرة مصر المالكة السابقة الخاطفة — تيجانٌ وألماسٌ وذهب — معروضةٌ في قصرٍ مزخرف هو نفسه تحفةٌ متلألئة.

For a glimpse into the opulent world of Egypt's former royal family, few places compare with the Royal Jewelry Museum. Housed in an extravagantly decorated palace, it displays the dazzling jewels and treasures of the dynasty that ruled Egypt until the mid-20th century — crowns, tiaras, diamond-studded ornaments, and gold. The palace itself, with its painted ceilings and stained glass, is as much a treasure as the jewels it holds, making this one of Alexandria's most glamorous museums.

للمحةٍ عن عالم أسرة مصر المالكة السابقة الفخم، قلّةٌ من الأماكن تضاهي متحف المجوهرات الملكية. ومسكونًا في قصرٍ مزخرف ببذخ، يعرض المجوهرات والكنوز الخاطفة للسلالة التي حكمت مصر حتى منتصف القرن العشرين — تيجانٌ وأكاليلُ وحليٌّ مرصّعة بالألماس وذهب. والقصر نفسه، بسقوفه المرسومة وزجاجه المعشّق، كنزٌ بقدر المجوهرات التي يضمّها، مما يجعله أحد أكثر متاحف الإسكندرية بهاءً.

The museum holds the personal jewels and treasures of the royal family descended from Muhammad Ali, who ruled Egypt until the monarchy ended in the 1950s. The collection dazzles with diamond-studded crowns and tiaras, gold ornaments, jewelled watches and snuffboxes, decorative objects, and royal regalia, accumulated over generations of immense wealth. Each piece offers a glimpse into the luxurious lives of Egypt's former kings, queens, and princesses, and the craftsmanship of the finest jewellers of their day.

The Setting Itselfالمكان نفسه

A building as beautiful as its contents.مبنًى بجمال محتوياته.

The treasures are displayed in the former palace of a princess of the royal family, and the building is a marvel in its own right. Its rooms are richly adorned with painted ceilings, gilded details, marble, and beautiful stained-glass windows, some depicting romantic scenes. Wandering from one ornate chamber to the next, visitors enjoy a double pleasure: the glittering jewels in their cases, and the exquisite early-20th-century palace that surrounds them, itself a work of art.
