Alexandria Corniche, Coastal promenade in Alexandria, Egypt
The Alexandria Corniche extends over ten miles along the Mediterranean Sea, connecting the Citadel of Qaitbay with the Montaza Palace district.
Italian-Egyptian architect Pietro Avoscani designed this waterfront promenade in 1870, incorporating elements from Alexandria's maritime heritage into its construction.
The promenade stands as a central gathering place where local residents meet for evening walks, share meals at seaside restaurants, and celebrate community events.
Visitors can access multiple beaches, restaurants, and attractions along the Corniche through regular bus services or by taking metered taxis.
The western section near the Citadel of Qaitbay occupies the exact location where the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders, once stood.
