It is famous for having two major palaces that were once the residences of the King Faruk. Along with the Tahra Palace, the Quba Palace is said to be the largest palace in Egypt. They are both still used today as official residences for high-level delegations.
The district was once a rich neighborhood with enormous mansions covering the area. Today, high blocks cover the once richly gardened district.
