Montazah palace and gardens: Montaza Palace and Paradise Inn.
  • Tip Rating:
  • Montaza palace is always known a private area in Alexandria. maybe for lovers as it is one of the most areas with trees and something like that which make you feel free and satisfied from what you see. also if you want to go to the beach and you wearing Bikini this is your only way,Paradise Inn beach is the only way to swim with Bikini. Montaza Palace is higher price than everywhere else,but I am sure that you will enjoy the time there.

    Montazah palace and gardens: Private Luxory abundant
    Its no wonder world leader decide to hold talks here at this private park. There is an entrance fee but its worth it. Mark this as the park with the greatest number of palm tree enclosed. Its beautiful! locals would drive up the long driveway inside the park, getting closer to ocean. I walked. even better seeing all the flowers, well maintained hedges, and parkly goodness. A favourite leisure activity for Arab families, this park is a perfect setting for a picnic, an afternoon of enjoying the outdoors mother nature and chit chat, lovers spending quality time, and with the children out on a trip. Actually locals even can rent cottages on the beaches! lucky! there are many sights in this park. Notably the architecture on the bridge featured in the photo, a resort Hilton within, the historic palace and nearby amazing jagged rock style landscape and gazebo. There are many spots here where you can sit down and watch the waves crash onto the shore. Overall this park is an enclosure of privilege sheltered from the barbarous outside. Egypt has much poverty, and this park is a shelter, which is why world leaders come here. BUT I spent like three hours out of 7 in this place that i had on a day trip in alexandria, and it was worth it. A MUST DO! TIP: Spend a night in the hotel, or in the resort houses if you can arrange to spend a few nights. its beautiful here, and the people are more friendly so you can meet egyptians easier.

    Montazah palace and gardens: Montaza
    Les jardins de Montaza sont entoures par de grands murs au sud, a l'est et a l'ouest, et d'une plage au nord. Ce secteur appartenait a la famille de Mohamed Ali, famille regnante du milieu du XIXe siecle jusqu'en 1952. La construction a ete commencee en 1892 par le roi Abbas II, qui a construit un grand palais appele le Salamlek. En 1932, le Roi Fouad a construit un plus grand palais et l'a appele le Haramlik. Son fils, le roi Farouk, a construit la jetee sur la mer. Le reste de l'espace est constitue de jardins .. Bertrand Noble

    Montazah palace and gardens: Nice park for local lovers
    Our TourGuide took us to Montazah Palace and Gardens, in the afternoon of our one day tour of Alex. Because it was the time of Ramadan, all museums, monuments closed early, so this seemed to be the only thing left to do in the afternoon. You need to drive by the sea for about half an hour, to reach the Montaza area of Alexandria, which is basically a suburb. Local couples take long walks and some hugs in these parks, which cover a fairly big area. This was the summer residence of the Egyptian Royal family, and the last king left Egypt from here on a boat to Italy in 1952. One of the palaces operates as a Hotel, the other one still serves Governmental purposes, so it can not be visited. You would find closed doors basically everywhere, except the parks. Maybe during the hot summer the beaches are full of people and life, but in October it was a bit empty. From what I saw in Alex, I would put it on the last spot of the list. It can definiately be missed if You're only in the area for just one or two days, could be a nice program if You're there for a week or more.
