HISTORY OF MUSEUM

Egypt has various museums that showcase relics from its ancient civilizations. The Rokn Farouk Museum was established in 1942 by King Farouk as his personal rest area when travelling across the Nile River; however, the Supreme Council of Antiquities later converted it into a museum in 1976. The museum houses a portion of the Alawite family's property in Egypt, including as furniture, statues, art collections, paintings, and antique models. The structure and its surrounding grounds cover an area of approximately 11,600 square metres.

King Farouk loved nature, and one day while walking in the Helwan neighbourhood, where the air is clean and the view of the gardens and the Nile is breathtaking, he noticed the tea stall of the Grand Hotel and decided to acquire it to use as his retreat. It was fashioned in the shape of a boat on the Nile's bank. The rest home contains a garden of rare flowers as well as the Fountain of Love.
