King Farouk Palace (Qasr El-Montaza) stands within the Montaza Royal Gardens in Alexandria, Egypt, captured here under a clear blue sky with palm trees framing its distinctive cream and crimson facade. The palace was originally built by Khedive Abbas II in the late 19th century and later used as a royal summer residence by King Farouk, combining Florentine and Islamic architectural elements including arched loggias, decorative towers, and ornamental ironwork fencing. The Montaza complex is one of Alexandria's most prominent historical landmarks and is open to the public as a heritage site.
