Montazah Palace

This is one of the royal palaces of Egypt, last used by the last king of Egypt, Farouk, who abdicated in 1952. For centuries, Alexandria has been a favorite summer retreat for wealthy Egyptians, royalty included. The palace is on high ground along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, east of downtown Alexandria. The buildings and much of the compound are under renovation, which is visible on most of the pictures. So access inside the buildings is closed.
The 1st 2 pictures look at the main palace building from 2 sides that look toward the Sea. The 3rd & 4th look at bits of the gardens and park like setting of the palace complex. The last 2 are of the waterfront over which the palace looks.もっと詳しく
