Enjoying Montazah Royal Gardens

The Montazah Royal Gardens, the Roman Catacombs, The Citadel of Qait Bey, there are so many things to see in Alexandria that you will want to take another Egypt vacation!

The Royal Gardens in Alexandria

Every major city will eventually install large, open areas for residents and visitors to enjoy. Generally known as “parks” such locations are intended to provide some “green” space in which the inhabitants can escape the traditional hustle and bustle of a modern or busy city. The Montazah Royal Gardens in Alexandria, Egypt are just such a place.

The Montazah Palace

Though the gardens are a part of the more than three hundred and fifty acre grounds of the large royal home known as the Muntazah Palace, the Montazah Royal Gardens take up more than half of the property.

The palace was constructed in the 1800s by Abbas II, and though additions have been made to the impressive structure (including two hotels) the majority of the area is free to use by the people of the city.

Located at the Mediterranean Sea

The Royal Gardens in Alexandria are situated along the shore as well, which means access to the lovely beaches and warm Mediterranean Sea waters nearby. In fact, the property includes an enclosed cove, with a specially constructed bridge that permits the small pleasure boats to come easily in and out of the bay without any concerns of the rougher waters beyond the reach of the land.

Additionally, there is a charming lighthouse to help guide boats safely past the cove.

The Royal Gardens in Alexandria are a bit unique where city parks and public spaces are concerned as they are rigorously landscaped, and well-stocked with benches and wading or swimming pools that are open for the public to enjoy.

The Haramlek

In addition to containing Montazah Royal Gardens on the grounds, the site is also home to the Haramlek which is the location of a casino and a museum. The Salamlek is a luxury hotel within the palace property as well, and is a popular choice for many visitors to the ancient city.
