However, due to its ongoing role in presidential duties, some of the palace's main halls remain inaccessible for occasional tours or without scheduled permission. Abdeen Palace is not just a single museum but a grand complex housing four distinct museums, each offering a glimpse into Egypt's royal and military history. The Weapons Museum features an impressive collection divided into two sections: bladed weapons such as swords and daggers, many adorned with gold, silver, and precious stones, and an extensive firearms collection, including rare 17th-19th century pistols and rifles.
