About Stanley Bridge

Over the years, Stanley Bridge has become one of the most popular landmarks in Alexandria. Stretching for almost 400 meters, it is easily one of the best Egyptian modern monuments. There is a nice walkway along the bridge from where you can see amazing views all around. There is the beach on one side and the vast stretch of ocean on the other.
