From the nineteenth to the mid-twentieth centuries, Egypt and Sudan were ruled by the Muhammad Ali dynasty. It was named after its forefather, Muhammad Ali Pasha, who is widely regarded as the founder of modern Egypt. It was also more formally known as the Alawiyya or Alawite dynasty in contemporary English, and because the majority of its rulers bore the title Khedive, it was often referred to as the Khedival dynasty by contemporaries.

He was the younger brother of Khedive Abbas II and the son of Khedive Tewfik I and Emina Ilhamy. He represented Egypt and Sudan at King George VI of the United Kingdom's Coronation in 1937 and He married Suzanne Hémon, a former French actress.

Mohammed Ali Tewfik had a great palace, Al Manial, which he had built in the early 20th century, that contains many artifacts in a vintage architectural ambience

Muhammad Ali Tawfik adored and bred Arabian horses, as did his ancestor Abbas Pasha I. He also published a book:

• Mon journal de voyage en Afrique du sud (1923).
• Breeding of Purebred Arab Horses (1936).
• Souvenirs de Jeunesse: Le Theresianum (Vienne de mon temps) (1948).
• Ma jeunesse à Paris (1950).

MANIAL PALACE AND MUSEUM

In 1955, the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities received the Palace, its furnishings, and the Prince's collections. The Manial Palace and estate include a public art and history museum, historical gardens, and a forested nature park. There is also the Hunting Lodge Museum, which belonged to the late King Farouk.

The palace of Prince Muhammad Ali Tawfik was built between 1319 and 1348 AH/ 1900 and 1929 AD, and it consists of an outer wall that surrounds the palace's entrance. David Ohannessian, an Armenian ceramist originally from Kutahya, designed the entryway and mosque's ceramic tile work. 

The reception area, the clock tower, the Sabil, the mosque, the hunting museum, living quarters, the throne hall, the private museum, and the golden hall are all located within the palace's walls, in addition to the beautiful garden that surrounds it

The Museum of Prince Muhammad Ali's Palace in Manial is one of Egypt's most beautiful and historical. The museum depicts an important period in modern Egyptian history and is distinguished by its architectural design.

Its modern Islamic style is influenced by Persian and Mamluk elements. It was also influenced by motifs from Syria, Morocco, and Andalusia, as well as Ottoman style. As a result, the structure combines several Islamic architectural traditions.

Designed in a style that incorporated European Art Nouveau and Rococo with many traditional Islamic architecture styles such as Ottoman, Arab Andalusian, and Persian, resulting in inspired combinations in spatial design, architectural and interior decorations, and sumptuous materials. It housed his extensive art, furniture, clothing, silver, objets d'art, and mediaeval manuscripts from the Middle Ages collections.
