Stanley Bridge, Alexandria Overview

The Stanley Bridge is Egypt's first sea-crossing bridge. It was constructed in the late 1990s and is named after the Stanley Bay neighbourhood where it was constructed. Visitors can cross the bridge in horse-drawn chariots and take in the open sea vista and pleasant breeze. Shopping centres and upscale hotels can be found on the other side of the bridge. The coastline route also has a lot of cafes and beaches.

The Stanley Bridge was initially constructed to facilitate traffic movement but has become a significant landmark and a prime example of contemporary Alexandrian architecture. The bridge, which is 400 metres long and 30 metres broad with four Islamic-style towers, was built to complement the Al Montazah royal palace.
