The Saffron Palace (Arabic: قصر الزعفران) is located in the Egyptian capital of Cairo, near Abbassia at Khalifa Maʽmon Road.

The three-storey palace, designed by the French-educated Egyptian architect Moghri bey Saad,[1] was built during the reign of Isma'il Pasha.

Important visitors were also hosted by the ministry of foreign affairs at the palace.

The Anglo-Egyptian treaty of 1936 was signed in the palace and, in March of 1945, the Arab League was founded there.

[2] In 1952, the palace became the administrative headquarters of Ain Shams University, which remains to the present day.
