Alexandria Naval Unknown Soldier Memorial, Naval memorial on Corniche waterfront in Alexandria, Egypt.
The Alexandria Naval Unknown Soldier Memorial stands along the Mediterranean coast, featuring architectural elements that honor unidentified naval personnel who died in service.
The memorial changed purpose after the 1952 Egyptian Revolution, transforming from a monument to Khedive Ismail into a commemoration site for naval forces.
Military ceremonies and remembrance events take place at this memorial, maintaining the connection between Alexandria's naval history and present-day armed forces.
Located at coordinates 31.1997° N and 29.8936° E, the memorial remains open for visits throughout the day and night without admission fees.
The structure mirrors the design of the Unknown Soldier memorial in Venice Square, Rome, reflecting historical Italian-Egyptian connections in Alexandria.
