TheAmir Taz Palace (Arabic:قصر الأمير طاز) is a palace in Cairo, Egypt. It is at the intersection ofSaliba Street and Suyufiyya Street.
The palace was built in 1352 by a Taz al-Nasiri belonging to one of SultanNasir bin Muhammad bin Qala'un's sons.[1] The palace of Emir Taz, which was built to celebrate his marriage to the daughter of Sultan Nasir bin Muhammad,[2] was subsequently remodeled several times, most notably in the 17th century, during the reform of theKhedive Ismail.[citation needed]
In the 19th century, it became a girls' school, and has then been used as a storage depot by the Ministry of Education.[citation needed]
