Montaza Palace gardens

حدائق قصر المنتزه

Royal-era palace and seaside gardens on Alexandria's eastern shore.

The Montaza estate on Alexandria's eastern shore is a large park of gardens and beaches around the Montaza Palace, built in the early twentieth century for Egypt's royal family in a blend of Turkish and Florentine styles. The palace is seen from the gardens; the grounds are a favourite place for walks by the sea.

Highlights

  • The palace and its clock tower
  • Seaside gardens and the small lighthouse
  • Sunset over the bay

Good to know

  • The gardens are separate from the palace interior, which is not generally open.
