A Historic Landmark and Iconic Palace

AUC Tahrir Square has evolved into a prime downtown destination for conferences, lectures, seminars, and public events. Its exhibition space has become a platform for established artists to showcase their work, while also serving as a hub for local and international theater and contemporary dance performances. Inside the Historic Palace, the building houses Oriental Hall and Ewart Memorial Hall, with Ewart boasting a long history of hosting distinguished guests such as Om Kolthoum, who performed there in 1937, as well as prominent Egyptian intellectual Taha Hussein and top dignitaries, ambassadors, and intellectuals from around the world. Today, Ewart and Oriental halls continue to serve as the prime downtown destination for a range of conferences, lectures, seminars, and public events held by the University.
