CAIRO, the TOMB of the last SHAH of IRAN at AL-RIFA'I Mosque (EGYPT)
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's visit Al-Rifa'i Mosque which is located in Cairo, Egypt, in Midan al-Qal'a, adjacent to the Cairo Citadel. The building is located opposite the Mosque-Madrassa of Sultan Hassan, which dates from around 1361, and was architecturally conceived as a complement to the older structure. This was part of a vast campaign by the 19th century rulers of Egypt to both associate themselves with the perceived glory of earlier periods in Egypt's Islamic history and modernize the city. The mosque was constructed next to two large public squares and off of several European style boulevards constructed around the same time.
The mosque is the resting place of Khushyar Hanim and her son Isma'il Pasha, as well as numerous other members of Egypt's royal family, including King Farouk, Egypt's last reigning king, whose body was interred here after his death in Rome in 1965. The mosque served briefly as the resting place of Reza Shah of Iran, who died in exile in the Union of South Africa in 1944, and was returned to Iran after World War II. He was buried in Cairo following the Iranian Revolution of 1979. Here, we are going to visit the burial chamber occupied by Reza Shah's son Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, who died in Cairo in July 1980.
Egypt, a country linking northeast Africa with the Middle East, dates to the time of the pharaohs. Millennia-old monuments sit along the fertile Nile River Valley, including Giza's colossal Pyramids and Great Sphinx as well as Luxor's hieroglyph-lined Karnak Temple and Valley of the Kings tombs. The capital, Cairo, is home to Ottoman landmarks like Muhammad Ali Mosque and the Egyptian Museum, a trove of antiquities.

Tomb of Iranian Shah - Aryamehr Mohammad Reza Pahlavi -Cairo
This video is taken in Al-Refaie Mosque in Cairo where the tomb of our beloved King (Shah), Shahanshah Aryamehr Mohammad Reza Pahlavi the King of Iran is located. I took this movie to show it to all iranians who can not travel to cairo because of VISA problems, etc. For all who love our king Reza Shah Pahlavi.
Althought some people accuse him of beeing a dictator, Shah wanted to create a modern Iran, During his time, nobody called iranians, terrorists, we didnt needed VISA for most of the countries including Europe and America, The people had a much better lif, much more money, better health and education system. No War. No Fenaticsm, Middle East was a safe place thank to him. Relegious Minorities have not been under pressure. Students have not been jailed in masses. we didnt had a war, no stoning of anybody!
Even if he force to leave the country, he and his family will always remain in our hearts. God Bless him and his family, God Bless Reza Pahlavi his son who will definately will be our King in the future.

Inside the Shah's former palace
(26 Mar 2016) LEAD IN:
The former home of Iran's Shah in Tehran is attracting many visitors, fascinated by pre-revolution royal times.
The Iranian royal family spent their last days in the Niavaran palace complex, before the 2500-year old Persian monarchy came to an end in 1979.
STORY-LINE
This palace to the north of the capital Tehran was home to the last Iranian Shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and his family.
Built in an 11 hectares (27 acres) estate, the Niavaran place has served as a favourite resort for Iranian kings since the 19th century.
Reza Pahlavi finished building his main residence here, called the Private Palace, in 1967.
But unlike other buildings in the complex, the Private Palace is strikingly modern.
Museum guide Kurosh Salehi says: what distinguishes this palace (from other Persian ones) is the modern design, which of course includes some elements of Iranian and Persian architecture.
According to Salehi, The palace was originally aimed to host royal guests, but later on the Shah and his wife, queen Farah Diba, chose it as their main residence, spending at least 9 months there.
Designed by Iranian architect, Mohsen Forooghi, the palace has a contemporary look, without the curves and domes typical of the older Islamic architecture.
Elements of Persian architecture, such as stucco and tile work are also visible.
The palace is still full of mementos of the past, including many gifts given by foreign leaders, like a golden decorative bowl presented by former U.S president Nixon in 1973.
French-made Sèvres vases decorate the halls, some of them with the painted portraits of Reza Pahlavi and his wife Farah Diba.
One of the most treasured items is a rug called Carpet of the well-known featuring images of Iranian kings as well as famous historical figures, including Jesus Christ, Alexander the Great, Henry V of England and Napoléon Bonaparte.
Visitor Hosseini says: the architecture is full of energy. Life is flowing inside things here. It depicts the nature of Iranian art.
The peaceful exterior is also visited by many tourists.
Museum guide Shahrzad Pakniyat explains: the entire garden was originally as vast as 11 hectares (27 acres). The private palace, which was the main residence (of the Shah and his family) is 9,000 square metres (10763 square yards). It is composed of three stories and it has a convertible aluminium roof.
There are two older palaces built during the Qajar dynasty (1785-1925) in the vast estate,
as well as a library and a museum featuring royal family vehicles.
Two Rolls-Royce cars are on display, as well as motorbikes and electric cars.
