The El Salamlek Palace is a grand property set amongst gardens with a panoramic view of the Mediterranean. The service and accommodations are beyond compare. Especially enjoyed a lovely dinner in what was once King Farouk's office. Our spacious Princess Suite, on the second floor, has a wonderful balcony with a spectacular view.
