Considered the largest construction complex at its time, this urban cluster of four buildings straddling Imad al-Din Street was commissioned in the early twentieth century by Khedive Abbas Hilmi, and is characterized by its four symmetrical towering domes. Each building is organized around a courtyard with multiple entrances and a grand arched portal, and is adorned with a protruding veranda surrounding the four facades on the top level.
