Suggested Duration: 2 hours

The Alexandria Naval Unknown Soldier Memorial, located in the Manshaya district along the Corniche, honors the unknown soldiers who perished in sea battles. Originally built during the reign of Muhammad Ali to commemorate Khedive Ismail, the memorial was later repurposed after the 1952 Egyptian Revolution to recognize fallen naval personnel. Alexandria, as the primary naval base for Ibrahim Pasha's campaign during the Greek War of Independence, played a central role in the memorial's significance. The structure serves as a symbol of sacrifice and remembrance for Egypt's naval history.

Beautiful monument, it represents the unknown soldiers who lost their lives for Egypt, the monument is located in the downtown right in front of the sea, the area there is crowded and very lively, i recommend checking it out if you’re nearby.
