One of the longest standing Hei family, Fakhouri remain in their home in Thebes due to its extravagance. One the ruling Hei, their Thebes manor was the royal palace at one time and the Fakhouri prefer to stay within the impressive walls of alabaster stone with their sigil banners drapped down their walls and every piece of furniture and decoration designed to impress upon the world that they once ruled Egypt, rather than move to a sub-par residence in Cairo in a position beneath the current crown.
