The Royal Jewelry Museum (Arabic/:متحف المجوهرات ) in Alexandria, Egypt is located in the Zizenia neighborhood.
It was once the palace of Fatma Al-Zahra' and is an architectural masterpiece. Its halls contain many rare paintings, statues and decorations.
An inestimable collection of jewels of the Muhammad Ali Dynasty 19th century is also exhibited.
The museum was inaugurated on 24 October 1986.
The museum houses major jewelry pieces and acquisitions of the Mohammad Ali dynasty, who ruled Egypt for about 150 years till the July 1952 Revolution.
Following the Revolution, the remaining jewelry left over by the Royal Family were safe-kept until a decree by President Mubarak was issued in 1986 to assign Princess Fatima Al-Zahra' Palace in Alexandria as a special museum to house those pieces.
