The tomb of Ferial Qadin

She died on 21 February 1902 in the Saffron Palace, Cairo, twenty years before her son Fuad ascended the throne. She was buried in the Khedival Mausoleum located in Al-Rifa'i Mosque, Cairo.[6][7]

Fuad adored his mother, and believed that "F" was his lucky letter. The names of his five daughters and son Farouk all started with F, and Farouk continued the practice with his own children.[8][9][10]

In the 2014 Egyptian historical drama series Saraya Abdeen, Ferial is portrayed by Egyptian actress Nour.[11]
