The Museum of Royal Carriages that is located in the neighborhood of Boulak in Cairo is considered to be one of the important Egyptian museums.

This museum displays the royal carriages of the family of Mohamed Ali, the founder of modern Egypt, and how he and his family members were quite fond of horses. The members of the last royal family in Egypt who ruled from the beginning of the 19th century and until the revolution of the year 1952 used to ride in these wonderful chariots in many different occasions including wedding ceremonies and in official processions.

The Museum of Royal Carriages is located in the 26th of July Street, just beside the historical mosque of Abu El Ellah, constructed in the middle of the 16th century.

The museum was established during the ruling period of Khedive Ismail in the last quarter of the 20th century, who was the first one to think of founding a special building to host the royal carriages and horses.

This building was called the "Department of the Khedive Carriages" when it was first established and then the name was modified to become the "Management of the Royal Stables" which was one of the three managements that used to follow the instructions of the "Department of the Khedive Carriages".
