The Montaza Palace, located near Alexandria, was once El Salamlek Palace, where the King of Egypt lived until the last monarch of Egypt, King Farouk I, was forced to abdicate during the 1950s.

Today, Montaza Palace is a beautiful resort area where visitors can explore some old palace residencies and spend a day on the beach. Some parts of the El Salamlek Palace have been turned into museums devoted to the former royal family of Egypt, and contains many of their treasures, and the rest of the palace is now an exquisite hotel and casino.

With beautiful beaches for sunbathing and swimming and over 150 acres of gardens for walking and picnicking, Montaza Palace is a perfect destination for a day away from it all.
