Review:
Abdeen Palace was built in 1863 by Khedive Isma'il Pasha. It was meant to symbolize Egypt's strength and acted as the royal residence until 1952, when the monarchy ended. It's still used today by the president for official events, but a portion of the palace was made into a museum by King Ahmed Fouad I in 1936. It was originally built to house the king's collection, and more items have been added to it by other rulers over the years. It is now divided into five sections: the Museum of Arms, the Presidential Gifts Museum, the Documents Museum, the Decorations and Medals Hall, and the Royal Silverware Museum.
