The next stop on our walk is the El Nabi Daniel Mosque, which is thought to be connected to the tomb of Alexander the Great.

For lunch, you can go to Mohamed Ahmed's, which is a well-known and popular place to eat in Alexandria. After lunch, we'll be going to the Abo Al Abbas Mosque, which is the city's most important and beautiful mosque.

Men fish from old fishing boats, and traditional fishermen make nets near the harbor. You can click on beautiful shots here.       

Our tour will now go to the Castle of Qaitbay, which was built on the same spot as the Lighthouse of Alexandria, which was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Once you're inside the castle, you can see all of its parts, and if you go to the roof, you can see the whole city.     

After that, the car will go to the Palaces and Gardens of Montazah. You can stop by the King of Mango and try some fresh juices on the way. You can also take pictures at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier of Alexandria. As you walk toward the Palaces and the Montazah Gardens, you will fall in love with the amazing views of the city and the coast. There will also be a chance to see the old harbor of Alexandria, where about 7,000 statues were found buried.       

There are two gardens in the Montazah Gardens. One is called the Love Garden, and the other is the royal garden of King Farouk, who was the last Egyptian king. You can also visit the famous Montaza Bridge and the royal castles of Haramlek and Salamlek. Take a walk along the Tea Palace Island to see the beautiful beaches where the queens lived.
