Royal Chariots Museum

The Museum of Royal Carriages is located in Cairo's Boulak neighborhood and is considered to be one of the important Egyptian museums. The museum displays the royal carriages of the family of Mohamed Ali, the founder of modern Egypt. Ali and his family members were quite fond of horses so there is a lot to see! The Alis were Egypt's last royal family and ruled from the beginning of the 19th century until the Egyptian Revolution in 1951. They used to ride in these wonderful chariots on many different occasions including wedding ceremonies and official processions.

The Museum of Royal Carriages exhibits around 78 historically valuable royal carriages. Twenty-two carriages of this collection were gifts that were presented to the rulers of Egypt since the reign of Khedive Ismail and until the ruling period of King Farouk by the other kings and emperors of Europe.
