This is Baron Empain palace a Belgian wealthy engineer, entrepreneur, industrialist and egyptologist..many thing about him. Anyway he was responsible for the development of electric railway in cairo and many other things. This palace is located next to Baron Hotel, Heliopolis in Cairo. It has hindu influence in its design. It is said to be inspired by the Angkor Watt. For me its look antique and unique.

Couldn't enter inside the palace so just pose outside
Hindu motif on the front gate
Pass by this site few times, it was sad to see that its not in used for touristic purpose or maintain as heritage site. It such a great palace.
