About

Qasr al-'Ishshah (Arabic: قَصْر ٱلْعِشَّة, romanized: Qaṣr al-ʿIshshah) is a palace complex in Tarim of 'Umar bin Shaikh Al-Kaff, one of the first al-Kaff houses. Shaikh al-Kaff built the house on proceeds made in South Asian trade and investment in Singapore's Grand Hotel de l'Europe during the 1930s.
