Places You'll Visit
Montaza Palace is a royal palace complex on the Mediterranean coast in Alexandria, Egypt, begun in 1892 when Khedive Abbas II built the Salamlek as a hunting lodge. King Fuad I added the larger Al-Haramlek Palace starting in 1932, blending Ottoman and Florentine Renaissance styles, and the surrounding gardens and beach became a favored royal family retreat.

We went to Cairo from Sharm. The bus had AC and a bathroom. We loved everything, the guide joked around and told us so many interesting facts. We visited the museum, took a Nile boat ride, and the crowning moment — the pyramids, simply no words for how majestic they are. I booked online, no deposit at all, very convenient. They sent the departure time the day before. We stuck to the schedule. Thank you for our trip!
We chose the Cairo excursion, loved everything) Booking was fast and every question got a detailed answer. The transfer picked us up right from the hotel and took us to the meeting point) The guides are so kind and speak good Russian. It's a good idea to bring some food from the hotel for the trip, for a snack in the morning and evening.
