Palaces of the Middle East and Africa

Palace entries whose subject stands in the Middle East, North Africa or Sub-Saharan Africa, combined into one group here because neither region reaches this atlas's own eight-member floor for a group to render on its own within this subcategory (seven Middle Eastern and North African members, one Sub-Saharan African member). Belongs here: the Ottoman imperial palaces of Istanbul, a Persian royal palace, a Moroccan or Egyptian palace, a Gulf state ceremonial palace, a Levantine grand residence, and Ghana's Christiansborg Castle, the subcategory's sole Sub-Saharan African member. Does not belong here: a palace anywhere in Europe, Asia or the Americas, each gathered under its own group; if a future pass finds enough further Sub-Saharan African palace entries to clear the floor on its own, it should split back out into its own group rather than stay folded into this one.
