This 115 acre complex is surrounded by great walls
from the south, east and west, and with the beach on its
north side. This area used to belong to the Mohamed Ali
family, that ruled Egypt from the mid 19th century until
1952. The construction was started in 1892 by King Abbas
II, who built a large palace inside the complex called
the Salamlek. In 1932, King Fuad built a larger palace
and called it the Haramlik. His son, King Farouk, built a
bridge to the sea to act as a water front. The rest of
the 115 acres is nothing but beautiful gardens. Palm
trees and gazelles cover the area. This is a wonderful
spot to enjoy the beauty of Alexandria.
