It is a round shaped hall equipped with a large dome. A large copper and crystal Czech made chandelier is hanging from the dome. In the past the hall was called “The Chandelier Hall” due to the distinguished level of manufacture and design of that chandelier. Walls are decorated with ten paintings representing public life in Egypt such as agriculture, industry and education. Wooden floors are designed in a style that is harmonious with the general theme of the hall. In the past dancing balls were held in that hall while today it is used as waiting area for guests.

It is a spacious area with elegant decoration covering all walls. The room is connected with three doors to the corridor leading to the dome and the marble hall. Two large chandeliers and a number of wall pieces illuminate the hall. Four shields with the initial of King Fouad engraved in the middle are fixed to the ceiling corners. A large dining table with a capacity of 33 chairs is located in the middle. Today the hall, which was called the dining hall, is used for holding delegation level meetings.

The Gothic hall is considered an architectural masterpiece which came out in the Gothic churches style built in Spain (Andalus). All walls and ceilings are adorned and colored with Gothic style units. Three huge copper chandeliers are hanging from the ceiling.

This room is attached to the Queen’s bedroom. Japanese style dominates in the design of the room, which is all painted in red and decorated with golden ornaments. A statue representing the Japanese civilization also beautifies the area. In the past the queen used the room for changing her clothes.
