An oasis of calm and relaxing on the eastern edge of the city, Montazah is a lush haven of tall palm trees , trimmed lawns , fresh air and blossoming flowers that was once off-limits to all .Built as a hunting lodge in the 1890s by Khedive Abbas Hilmi, it was later extended substantially by King Fuad and used as the royal family’s summer house, and then by king Farouk the last king of Egypt.
The eccentrically designed Haramlek and Salamlek Palaces , with its ornate Florentine-inspired towers and Rococo flourishes, is not open to the public yet, but everyone is welcome to stroll within the beautiful gardens around it, which can be a welcome slice of nature after a day spent within Alexandria’s hustle.
