    Baron Palace

    Our tour leader will pick you up from your Giza or Cairo hotel in a private tour to Heliopolis, one of Cairo's most elegant neighborhoods, where your adventure begins at the legendary Baron Empain Palace. This architectural marvel was inspired by Hindu temples in India and Angkor Wat in Cambodia. It is entirely built on a rotating base that once allowed it to follow the sun—a feature that stuns even modern architects. The palace was constructed in 1911 by the Belgian millionaire Baron Édouard Empain. As you step through its carved wooden doors, you'll be captivated by its lavish marble floors, spiral staircases, and stained-glass windows.
