Built by Habib Sakakini in 1897 ...

I've lived my entire life around this fabulous palace..

and I didn't really like living in that neighbourhood because I saw it was very popular (sha3by ya3ni) and the media and films reinforced that idea too..
I always knew it was a unique piece of art, only I never really got close until last week.

Before it was to me "Sakakini pacha's Palace", but now it is Habib Sakakini's Palace. It is unique because unique people lived there, I know now that I live in a beautiful place that has a lot of history.
Believe it or not, I asked my father many times as a child and I still do to buy me that palace so that we could restore it and live there, however he still says we can't afford it.. too bad, isn't it??

    Hi Shamoussa,

    I've just moved my business to an office in Sakakini Square .. over looking the palace .. I get a sad feeling when I look at it .. It is so lonely standing alone among the surrounding ugliness ..
