Don’t go there. Baron Empain Palace Egypt. It’s too dark for you

Baron Empain Palace, in Egypt. The palace was built by Belgium-born Baron Édouard Empain, an extraordinarily wealthy industrialist best known for building the Paris Metro. During the end of the 19th century, Empain’s construction company took on massive infrastructure projects worldwide, some financed by the Rothschilds – the most powerful dynasty in modern history. In 1904, Empain traveled to Egypt and convinced the local government to sell him 10 square miles of land North of Cairo. In this desertic area, Empain built Heliopolis, a modern city of “leisure and luxury” that would eventually attract elite figures from Egypt and the Arab world. At the center of it all, on an artificial mound, Empain built a palace that would become his family’s primary residence.
