The construction of the Alexandria Corniche began in 1925 and took approximately ten years in six phases. The first phase was built in the area between Silsila and Shatby, a distance of 786 meters. The second phase extended from
Shatby to
Camp Caesar. The third phase extended from Camp Caesar to
Sporting. The fourth phase extended from Sporting to
Cleopatra. in 1962 The fifth phase extended from Cleopatra to
Stanley, passing through the Mustafa Pasha area, where the British occupation army camps were located at the time. This obstructed the Corniche's construction during this phase. During the beginning of the 2020s the widening of the east part of the Corniche Road from 3 to 5 car
lanes per direction carried on happening, having as a consequence the considerably shrink of adjacent beaches, and the necessity to reconstruct existing leisure and walking infrastructure. == Gallery ==
