the garden layout is fantastic, however i dont believe that the gardens itself have been well maintained. also known as "lovers Park" popular hangout with teens. still worth a visit if nothing other than for the size and atmosphere

There were tons of locals here on the grounds and it seemed like a nice place to picnic and relax. You could see King Farouk's palace but it was fenced and gated shut. The opulence that you hear about from him is astounding.

The actual palace is very pretty but the gardens are not well maintained, there is litter everywhere and its all over grown.

We enjoyed strolling through the gardens. On the northern tip there is a pier that has some nice views of the palace. Great place to get away from the noise/pollution of downtown

We visited Alexandria in march 2010. And this place was really beautiful...along the mediteranean sea..the location was superb.As many have written, many places are restricted for visitors. But still worth a visit.
