An oasis of calm on the city's eastern edge, Montazah is a lush haven of tall palm trees, trimmed lawns, and blossoming flowers that was once off-limits to all but the royal court and their hangers-on. If you need a dose of tranquility, a trip to Montazah is just the ticket to restore your sanity before diving back into the inner city fray. The best thing about it is that it's a walking distance from my place.. Kindly note that it's currently open for public but under construction.

The Roman Amphitheatre in Alexandria was constructed in the 4th century AD and it was a common feature of the Greco Roman period. Amphitheaters were special roofed theatres that were built to host music ceremonies and poet competitions during the reign of the Romans in Egypt. The amphitheatre features a marble audience section which is symmetrical with extended wing and could host up 600 spectators. It's a serene peaceful arena, where you sit comfortably on the marble steps where our grandfathers have set, and feel the essence of ancient Alexandria and its beauty..

In Carmous, near the Catacombs of Kom el-Shuqqafa, is a hill littered with the remains of ancient walls, architectural fragments, and rubble on which Alexandria's only fully intact ancient monument is left standing. Pompey's Pillar rises from the ruins of the ancient and famous Serapeion (Temple of Serapis), which was once used to store the overflow of manuscripts from the Great Library of Alexandria. This column of red Aswan granite with a Corinthian capital, rising to a height of almost 27 meters, actually has nothing to do with Pompey and was instead set up in AD 292 in honor of Diocletian, who supplied food for the starving population after the siege of the city.

Walk the long shore-front Corniche road of the Eastern Harbor heading west, and you'll finally arrive at Fort Qaitbey. It may be a poor substitute for what was once the site of the mighty Pharos Lighthouse - one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, which was toppled by a violent earthquake in 1303 - but this squat fort has been standing guard over Alexandria since 1480. Fort Qaitbey was built by Mamluke Sultan Qaitbey in an effort to fortify this important Egyptian port from attack, and rubble from the toppled lighthouse was used in its construction. Inside, you can explore the series of stone-walled chambers and climb up to the roof to look out over the Mediterranean.

The Royal Jewelry Museum celebrates the Egyptian royal family established by Mohamed Ali Pasha in 1805, and which continued to rule for 150 years. The collection is displayed in the stunning palace of Princess Fatma El Zahraa, a descendent of Mohamed Ali Pasha. The palace, built in 1919, acts as a striking backdrop to the magnificent possessions owned by the family. It uniquely merges European and Islamic styles, and reflects the remarkable taste of the princess in the paintings, gilded ceilings and mosaics decorating the many rooms of the palace. The possessions amassed by the family over the span of their rule are on display throughout the magnificent halls of the palace. A diamond and emerald inlaid collar belonging to the founder of the dynasty, Mohamed Ali Pasha, is among the museum’s collection. The lavish lifestyle of the family is reflected in a gold chessboard, gold binoculars encrusted with diamonds, rubies and emeralds, and gold cups inlaid with precious stones. Dazzling and elaborate jewelry commissioned by the greatest designers in Europe, which once adorned the queens and princesses of Egypt’s royal family, is also on display.

One of Alexandria's most famous sons, Constantine Cavafy (1863-1933), was a Greek Alexandrian poet who found fame and recognition for his writing after his death. His apartment on what is now Sharm el-Sheikh Street is a tribute to his life and a major attraction for anyone on an Alexandrian literary pilgrimage. Cavafy spent his working life as a journalist and civil servant, little recognized for his poetry outside of a small group of Alexandrian-based writers (including English novelist E.M. Forster, who was a champion of Cavafy's work). His poetry, though, richly captures the vast history of Alexandria - particularly its Hellenistic origins - and he has become one of the greatly celebrated literary figures of the city. The small museum contains many of his manuscripts and correspondence.

Abu Al-Abbas Al-Mursi is Alexandria's largest mosque; with a cream coloured facade, four great domes, arabesque designs and a high minaret, the mosque is a beautiful sight. Built in 1775 to commemorate the life of an Andalusian Sheikh that was buried on the site, it is one of the most visited mosques on the White Med coast. While visiting this amazing sanctuary, do not forget to have a long and thorough look at the colonnade of elongated arches, the eight monolithic granite columns and the beautiful marble floor.

Use Uber

As a favor for my guests, if you need a car ride from and to Cairo, I can arrange that for you with a trusted Limo comp., avg cost 1000 L.E, that you pay the driver in cash once you arrive. Uber is available in Alex, and it's cheaper and more convenient than negotiating fees with the local taxis. Even if you have a car, sometimes it's better to use Uber, specially if you are visiting a place located on the corniche, where parking is very hard. For longer trips it's more cost effective to use Swvl or Gobus, download the applications from the playstore and book your trips with them in advance.
