Montaza Palace : info and guided tour

Overview of Montaza Palace

Montaza Palace is located at the eastern end of Alexandria, on the Mediterranean coast, in the Al Mandarah Bahri district. The site is part of a vast historic complex known for its gardens, tree-lined spaces, and sea-facing setting. Its official address is on El-Gaish Rd, in the Alexandria Governorate.

The palace itself is recognized as a tourist attraction and a castle, with a silhouette that stands out in the Montaza coastal landscape. It forms part of a larger estate where architecture and the maritime setting complement each other, making it a notable point of interest for understanding the link between Alexandria and its seafront.

Around Montaza Palace, the landscape combines greenery, estate pathways, and open views over the Mediterranean. The whole site draws attention as much for its monumental presence as for the retreat-like atmosphere it evokes within the city. It is one of the most recognizable landmarks in Alexandria on Egypt’s northern coast.
