Summary

Description

PLEASE, NO invitations or self promotions, THEY WILL BE DELETED. My photos are FREE to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks.

This lighthouse is located on the "King's Tea Island" in front of the Salamlek Palace at the eastern end of the city of Alexandria. It is within the boundaries of the royal palace of Montazah.

The construction date is around 1920’s or 30s. The light is inactive. It is 15 meters (49ft) high and it is constructed out of stone, unpainted, with vertical fluting, lantern, and gallery. It does not appear that this lighthouse was ever an official aid to navigation, although decorative lights may have been displayed. Many Egyptian romantic films were shot at the Monatazah lighthouse.
