Montaza palace is always known a private area in Alexandria. maybe for lovers as it is one of the most areas with trees and something like that which make you feel free and satisfied from what you see. also if you want to go to the beach and you wearing Bikini this is your only way,Paradise Inn beach is the only way to swim with Bikini. Montaza Palace is higher price than everywhere else,but I am sure that you will enjoy the time there.

Ok.! anyone walk on the sea coast in Alexandria will walk walk walk,untill he forget the time, he will found himself walked for 4 or 5 kilometers without even feel. its somewhere for relaxation,spending good time looking to Egyptian people.also having some fun . it depends where you will start walking but for me I start walking from Raml Station to the castle which is about 3 kilometers or little bit more,but I never think about this. I always enjoy this and doing it from time to time.

If you want to make shopping in Alexandria you have many places to do shopping in. but I suggest you to go to Smouha "where exactly I live" there are many shops,mall,everything you want you will find it . if you want to buy something little bit cheaper so you can go to Raml Station in the downtown.

Beaches: Northen Coast.!

The Northen coast is one of the best places to swim in Alexandria specially Marina. its not crowded at all and the sea is very clean,just it may has high waves at sometimes but I always enjoy going there to swim with my friends. its better to swim there because you can wear your Bikini "for women" with no hassels from others because those areas are for people who wears Bikini,but if you did this at the seas in the downtown I am not sure what will happen to you.!! but millions of eyes will looks to your body,so northen coast is your way for a safe and relaxing swim, there are many touristic villages there,hundreds over the coast but I like Marina and some others,if you are comming I can handle a pass for you so you can join because its for members only,but its easy for us :)

Directions: take the road to Marsa Matrouh you will find many villages on your right hand.
