Experts' Choice Award Royal Jewelry Museum
What the experts agree on
The 1919 Italian villa is the real star—ornate tilework, gilded ceilings, and stained glass rival the impressive royal jewelry collection itself. A feast for the eyes in every room.
“A beautiful villa built in 1919 for Fatma Ali Heider Fadel by an architect and ceramists from Italy houses the Royal Jewelry Museum, which was opened in 1986.”
