爱生活Stanley Bridge, known as the Lover's Bridge by locals, is located in the eastern section of the Corniche, about 10 kilometers away from the famous attractions of Qube Fort and Montcazar Palace. Stanley Bridge is 400 meters long and spans Stanley Bay in Alexandria. The elegant main bridge and its unique tower are like a smaller version of China's Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge. Although there are larger bridges in Cairo, I still think that this oriental-style Stanley Bridge is the most beautiful. Walking on the seaside avenue, you can overlook the port and the castle. There are many high-end hotels and shopping malls under the bridge and along the Corniche Road, as well as numerous cafes and beaches. It is a summer resort for the rich in Egypt!
