The magnificent palace of Prince Youssef Kamal in Naj’ Ḥammādī represents a unique architectural masterpiece, with its wonderful location on the Nile and its unique architectural style. The palace lived through many years of neglect, destruction and loss of contents, as well as its re-use by many government institutions resulting in the loss of many of its archaeological features. After several attempts to preserve its identity, a large budget was allocated for its restoration, and on September 29, 2019, the palace regained its original form and reopened to visitors. In this paper, the author aims to discover the history of the palace and highlight its archaeological and historical value since its construction. Furthermore, it sheds light on the restoration works through an analytical description of the palace constructions. The author made a field visit to the palace to inspect its architectural components after the restoration, proposing some ideas to revitalize the palace in terms of tourism and culture.
