Ras El Tin Palace
Ras El Tin Palace (Arabic: قصر راس التين, romanized: Qaṣr Ras El Tīn, literally, "Cape Fig Palace") is a palace on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea in Alexandria, Egypt. It is located in the Ras el-Tin quarter on Alexandria's eastern shore, overlooking the city's Western Harbour. The promontory on which it is built was in antiquity the site of the island of Pharos. Under the Muhammad Ali Dynasty of Egypt and Sudan it was a royal palace, and it is the oldest royal Egyptian palace still in use. It was registered on the list of Islamic and Coptic antiquities in 2015 and now serves as one of the official residences for a serving President of Egypt.
