The El Salamlek Palace is a grand property set amongst gardens with a panoramic view of the Mediterranean. The service and accommodations are beyond compare. Especially enjoyed a lovely dinner in what was once King Farouk's office. Our spacious Princess Suite, on the second floor, has a wonderful balcony with a spectacular view. You can not go wrong in Alexandria... more

The staff were also rude and laughed in my face when... more

Small lobby bar with live music (chamber music)... more
