Montazah Palace Gardens Review

Montazza Palace, also known as the "Egyptian Summer Palace", "Montazza Palace Garden", "Montazza Garden", "Farouk Palace", etc., is the palace of the last king of Egypt Farouk, it is located in a vast scenic area at the eastern end of Alexandria. Overlooking the secluded beach, surrounded by date palm trees and gardens, the palace blends Florence and Turkish style and is now the State Guesthouse of Egypt. Montaza Palace was a summer retreat for the royal family until 1952. Now the seaside is open to tourists and anglers, and the palace is not open to the public. Montaza Palace Park is the best place for greening in Alexandria, with a large area. This is a good place for Egyptian families to go out for a picnic, and it is also a romantic choice for couples to fall in love together.

Montazza Palace is the famous summer palace, but also a resort for the emperors of all ages. The preserved buildings are very intact and you can see the unique historical characteristics of Egypt. This place cannot be visited internally and looked at the nearby buildings from the outside.

It’s not Christmas yet, I want to talk about my recent three-year Christmas trip, and let’s not mention it from Christmas 2017. In fact, in 2016, it was decided that every Christmas will no longer go to Europe and the United States, because most of the European and American countries are Christian countries every Christmas to the New Year. It can be said that the most important time of the year. If you want to feel the pure Christmas atmosphere, everyone will be the first in Europe and the United States. I was the same 16 years ago! Maybe people will have aesthetic fatigue, I now have serious aesthetic fatigue for Europe no matter what the north, west, south, north and south, and north, in fact, when you have traveled all over and summed up in addition to some natural scenery in northern Europe, east, south, west, central Europe, including the Balkan countries, human landscape and historical origin There are two places, one is Italy (the ancient Roman Empire) and the other is Turkey (the Ottoman Empire), you see many European countries still have the name of the old Turkish street (such as Sarajevo, the capital of BiH)! What should I do if I am tired of aesthetics? Let's change places? So I decided to transfer to the Middle East and Africa from 16 years ago, hahaha! In fact, many people will want to go to the Middle East countries for Christmas. It's not bullshit. What Christmas is most Islamic countries in the Middle East? ! Yes, but really came to find that every country is really different in the attitude to Christmas! Some open and some conservative! Let’s talk about Egypt first. Christmas 2017 is not my first time in Egypt. I am afraid that the most impressive friends who have been here are not the pyramids and the Nile but the dirty and messy urban environment. In fact, you can feel that you have come more than Cairo. It’s okay. For example, my favorite city on the Mediterranean side of Alexandria, where two of the seven wonders of the world are located, Alexandria Lighthouse and Library (of course, thousands of years have passed away). Maybe I have a special complex on the Mediterranean, no matter which country Mediterranean city I love it! Friends who have been to Alexandria must have been to the Montaza Palace Garden (commonly known as the Summer Palace), and I was just like you before taking pictures in the garden, because the palace has been changed to the presidential palace since the Mubarak period! Fortunately, we were authorized by the Alexandria Tourism Bureau to enter (now still the summer palace of Egypt's current president, Sisi). Unfortunately, we can only watch and not take pictures. Here I have to expose myself to the short children, which may also be the bad fault of many Chinese. That is, people didn’t let me take pictures or I took two sneak shots in the hall just entering. I solemnly apologize here. That impulse is not because of quality but because of the Christmas atmosphere. After all, I came to the appointment for Christmas. I was still basking in the sun on the red beach in Hergada a few days ago. , What am I doing all the way to Alexander, hahaha! Everyone should look at the photos and my first impression. This layout is almost like my primary school class meeting, haha! But I am still very touched that a backward country, a country where Islam is supreme, is great for us foreigners to do this on Christmas Day, and I still thank them today!

best and cool place

1. Montaza Palace, also known as "Summer Palace of Egypt", is the palace of Egypt's last King Farouk, located in the eastern suburb of Alexandria, which can be directly accessed by train. Its two side doors have train stations (El Mandara Station and Armontazah Station), and train tickets only cost 1.5 Euro, about 0.6; 2. The name of the scenic spot is "Palace", but the real palace is not open to tourists. Face is closed, so visitors actually visit the garden, architectural appearance and seaside scenery; 3. I strongly recommend not to visit with the group, because the group will not take you to the best scenic spots, take advantage of the good weather to visit here in the afternoon, is absolutely the most pleasant; 4. Tickets for 25 Euros, no student tickets.

Montazza Palace is our second stop in Alexandria. The main building is the former palace of the king and royals, so it is also called the summer palace. The entire Montaza Palace is still relatively large, except for the main building of Montaza Palace, other places are gardens, and now this is Alexandria's largest park. Our tour bus is allowed to drive into the Montaza Palace Park. After getting off the bus, the first thing you see is the garden. Walk along the garden and you can see the beach. There are rows of red cabins on the beach, and people from all over the world will choose to come here for a summer vacation. Outside the beach, the rough seas beat the shore, reminding us that this is the Mediterranean. The sea breeze is very strong, people stand here blowing the wind, it seems that they can't feel the heat of Egypt. From the beach, you can see the main building of the Montazha Palace. The iron gate outside the main building is locked. As tourists, we can only stand outside the iron gate and look at the whole building. The entire Montaza Palace is very European in its architectural shape. It is said that the Florentine architecture was referenced when the building was built. In order to serve as a royal summer shelter, King Farouk ordered the construction of the main building, which was not opened for visitors until 1952. The interior of the main building is said to be quite magnificent. The Montaza Palace is now more used as a place for the president to meet foreign heads of state. It is not open on weekdays. We can only look at its red brick wall through the iron gate and take pictures.

To Alexandria, you must go to this palace of the last Egyptians. It is also known as the "Egyptian Summer Palace", because it is close to the eastern end of the Great Port, so the scenery is particularly beautiful, standing on the palace overlooking the quiet beach, surrounded by date palm trees and gardens, the architecture here blends Florence and Turkish style, now the Egyptian State Guest House. This time I came here just in the maintenance palace. It is free to open, and it feels like this is the summer summer resort of the royal family. Now the beach is open to tourists and anglers, but the palace is not open to the public. Montaza Palace Park is the best place for Alexandria to green, with a large area. This is a good place for Egyptian families to go out for a picnic, and it is also a romantic choice for couples to fall in love together.
