Its eastern side overlooks the Nile and features the French art style of Art Nouveau, which manifests itself in the metal and glass work at the entrance of the palace. The building's western side bears the features of the neo-classic style, a blend of different ornaments. The huge mullioned window at the north side is particularly impressive. Visitors standing on the first and second floors can see the window, which is above the inner stairs and bears the signature of French artist Lucien Mette[?] (Paris-1970).
