		The logo of Ain Shams University The logo was designed by Prof. Dr. Ahmed Ahmed Badawy, Professor of Archeology and the third president of Ain Shams University from 1956-1961 AD. It depicts the extent of the connection between the name and the ancient history of the university, as the obelisk represents the house of life in the city of "O'n", while the two falcons symbolize the Egyptian god "Horus" at that time. When you look closely at the university's logo, you will find the name written inside it in the hieroglyphic language (Bar-Ankh Iono), meaning Ain Shams University.
		Ain Shams University is not just an educational body, but also a permanent revival of a name derived from the ancient Egyptian civilization. In the past, Dr. Taha Hussein, Minister of Education at the time, adopted the project to establish Ain Shams University (Ibrahim Pasha Al-Kabeer University) in 1950 AD, in memory of the great Egyptian leader Ibrahim Pasha bin Muhammad Ali. Its name was changed after the July Revolution from (Ibrahim Pasha Al-Kabeer University) to Heliopolis University (the ancient Greek name, meaning the city of the sun) on February 21, 1954 AD, and the name was changed in the same year to Ain Shams University, reviving a name derived from the ancient Egyptian civilization as a kind of rooting nobility, relative to the Ain Shams region, where the oldest university ever existed in ancient Egyptian history, which is the University of (Iono) O'n.
		Ain Shams University (Ibrahim Pasha Al-Kabeer University) Beginnings... 7 faculties and two institutes When Law No. 93 regarding establishing the university was issued in 1950 AD, it stipulated that the university should consist of the following faculties and institutes: The Faculty of Medicine: Its nucleus is the Faculty of Medicine in Abbasiya, affiliated to Fouad I University The Faculty of Arts: Its nucleus is the literary section of the Higher Institute for Teachers.

		Zafaran Palace has been the seat of the university presidency since 1952 After the issuance of the law establishing Ain Shams University (Ibrahim Pasha Al-Kabeer) in 1950 AD, the Site Selection Committee of the Ministry of Works agreed in 1951 AD to allocate a plot of land of 196 acres of government property to be a site for building the new university faculties. In October 1952, Major General Muhammad Naguib gifted the "Zafaran Palace" to Ibrahim Pasha University, so it was annexed, and the university administration moved to it. Since that time, the Zafaran Palace was the seat of the university president. In November 1952, Major General Muhammad Naguib, accompanied by al-Bakbashi Gamal Abdel Nasser, went to visit the university. He was received by Prof. Muhammad Kamel Hussein, the university director, the deans of the faculties and thousands of university students.
		The University Campus around Zafaran Palace As we mentioned earlier, in October 1952, Major General Muhammad Naguib donated the "Zafaran Palace" to the university, and the university administration moved to it. Since that time, the Zafaran Palace was the seat of the university president. The university administration began expanding the campus around the Zafaran Palace in 1962, by building new buildings and faculties one after the other. The expansions began with the demolition of the old annex building, and the existing administrative buildings were built so that the Faculty of Science could move there. The old "Al-Rasd Khana" building was also demolished and the current Faculty of Arts building was built in its place. Then the faculties of Law and Business also moved to the buildings prepared for them on the university campus.
