    Antoneadis gardens in the Smouha district of Alexandria is a very attractive site and unique of its own gardens not in Alexandria only but in all Egypt. It has very rare and wonderful trees and plants. It also has a very group of distinguished leaders in the world. You will see them in the photos 📸 of my profile. I spent 22 years in my lovely ❤️ city of Alexandria and enjoyed visiting these unique gardens. I still remember these days and beautiful places that I love truly and eternally. I hope you enjoy seeing this place too.

    You can still enjoy the fresh air and the sun and the beautiful scenery of the place. True that some visitors don't have the ethics of public places when it comes to sanitary and cleaning. But eventually, you will have a lot to enjoy.

    The gardens are spacious and beautiful. It seems the palace and some parts are Under renovation. People are having picnic time. Historic place. Great Alexandria. There is a more beautiful and manucured garden inside with one more ticket. Beautiful antique marble statues.

  • 3/5 Yasmina H. 8 months ago on Google • 20 reviews
    It is just a place to sit and walk through trees Having food and toys for open areas are required The changes made over there since my last visit are terrible. They cut out lots and lots of trees There is a mosque but under repair and there is lots of construction going on over there but it's far so it's not noisy. There are two fields one for football and one for tennis but i am not sure if it's open for public services or is it a private rent specially for clubs. There is a small shop which serves cold and hot beverages and has some snacks. There is a person whom you can rent bikes from. We paid 20 for half an hour. If you have bikes or scooters then you can bring them, no need for renting. There is also a place made for marriages and taking photo sessions. It's next to the zoo,they actually share the same gate but different tickets at the gate.some people go to both on the same day, since the zoo isn't that big

  • 4/5 H N. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The park is beautiful, but you need litter boxes everywhere, more bathrooms, and police patrols for drunkards and corrupt people. And a lot of attention to hygiene .. dirt everywhere in the garden .. a fine must be paid to those who throw garbage in it (Original) الحديقة جميلة و لكن تحتاج لسلات قمامة في كل مكان و المزيد من الحمامات و دوريات شرطة للسكارى و الفاسدين. و كثير من الاهتمام بالنظافة.. القاذورات في كل مكان في الحديقة.. لابد من غرامة لمن يلقي القمامة فيها

  • 4/5 EngliShady 2 months ago on Google • 173 reviews New
    The place is good for family 👨‍👩‍👦 outings. It has kids area, bikes 🚲, takeaway 🥡 deli, gardens and playgrounds. The security staff members are very professional and respectful. There is music all over the place which gives you energetic ⚡ vibes. You can take tons of selfies 🤳🏻. If you wish to pray, there is5a mosque. Transportation is very practical and prices are cheap comparing to the given service. Recomded to be visited all weekdays except Thursday through Saturday as it is too crowded.

    (Translated by Google) The place is beautiful like a garden and a chop with the family, but it has been neglected for a long time in terms of cleanliness and the lack or absence of bathrooms, especially men's bathrooms along the idle and few. Also, there are no lighting poles And most importantly, there are no security cameras, because some homeless children who have a dog or more with them are leaving people with a crush The swings are not damaged and need maintenance The place has been neglected for a long time and overflowed, knowing that it is a very beautiful place if it is taken care of, cleanliness, as well as increasing the number of bathrooms and others (Original) المكان جميل كحديقة وقعدة مع العائلة ولكنه مهمل منذ فترة كبيرة في النظافة وقلة أو عدم وجود حمامات وبالخصوص حمامات الرجالي على طول عطلانة وقليلة لايوجد الا حمام واحد فقط وكمان لا يوجد به أعمدة انارة والاهم لا توجد كاميرات مراقبة أمنية لان بعض الاطفال المشردين وبيكون معاهم كلب او اكثر بيرخموا على الناس والمراجيح هناك لا تالفة وتحتاج صيانة المكان أهمل من فترة كبيرة وباظ مع العلم انه مكان جميل جدا لو تم الاهتمام به وبالنظافة وكمان زيادة عدد الحمامات وغيره

    (Translated by Google) Beautiful childhood memories and good days..we used to go every Friday during the holidays and there were all the joyful scenes. We played football and the family gathering. Then we visit the zoo and you don't want to go and you want to sit down....the most beautiful days and the most beautiful memories really.. The Gardens and Palace of Antoniadis are gardens that some historians date back to the Ptolemaic period in Egypt. They are the oldest gardens in the city of Alexandria in Egypt and are considered among the oldest gardens established by man in the world. They were located within the suburb of Eleusis or “Gardens of Bliss” and this suburb has witnessed historical events An important task for the Ptolemaic kings, and in the nineteenth century it was owned by a rich Greek and was known by his name “Pastieri Gardens” until it was owned by Muhammad Ali Pasha and built a palace for him in it. In 1860 AD, Khedive Ismail entrusted the French artist “Paul Richard” to re-create the gardens as a miniature model One of the gardens of the Versailles Palace in Paris, in which Khedive Ismail resided during his visit to France, and the area of ​​the gardens at that time was about 50 acres, but the area of ​​the gardens reached as a result of the expansions ordered by Khedive Ismail to the place of the Smouha Club now, and a large number of trees were added at that time. The rare plants were brought to the garden, where Khedive Ismail was known for his fondness for hunting birds in them. The ownership of the palace and gardens was transferred to one of the wealthy, the Greek Baron John Antoniades in the year 1860 AD, who named the gardens after his name later. To his son Anthony, who carried out his father’s will to donate the palace and gardens to the Alexandria Municipality in 1918 AD.. . (Original) ذكريات الطفولة الجميلة و الأيام الحلوة ..كنا كل جمعة فى الاجازة نروح كانت فيها كل مناظر البهجة نلعب كورة و لمة العيلة و بعدين نزور حديقة الحيوانات و مش بتبقى عايز تروح و عايز تفضل قاعد....أجمل ايام و أجمل ذكريات فعلا..حدائق وقصر أنطونيادس هي حدائق يرجع بعض المؤرخون تاريخ إنشائها إلي الفترة البطلمية في مصر وهي أقدم حدائق مدينة الإسكندرية في مصر وتعتبر من بين أقدم الحدائق التي أنشأها الإنسان علي مستوي العالم، وكانت تقع ضمن ضاحية إيلوزيس أو "جنات النعيم" ولقد عاصرت هذه الضاحية أحداثاً تاريخية مهمة لملوك البطالمة ، وفي القرن التاسع عشر كانت ملكا لأحد الأثرياء اليونانين وكانت تعرف باسمه " حدائق باستيريه " حتى تملكها محمد علي باشا وأقام قصرا له بها وفي عام 1860 م عهد من قبل الخديوي إسماعيل إلى الفنان الفرنسي " بول ريشار " بإعادة إنشاء الحدائق كنموذج مصغر من حدائق قصر فرساي بباريس التي أقام بها الخديوي إسماعيل أثناء زيارته لفرنسا ، وكانت مساحة الحدائق آنذاك نحو 50 فداناً بل وصلت مساحة الحدائق نتيجة التوسعات التي أمر بها الخديوي إسماعيل إلى محل نادي سموحة حاليا، وأضيف وقتها عدد كبير من الأشجار والنباتات النادرة إلى الحديقة حيث عرف عن الخديوي إسماعيل ولعه بصيد الطيور بها، انتقلت ملكية القصر والحدائق إلى أحد الأثرياء وهو البارون اليوناني جون أنطونيادس العام1860 م والذي سميت الحدائق باسمه لاحقا، وقد ظل جون أنطونيادس زمناً بالقصر، وعندما توفي عام 1895 م آلت الحدائق والقصر بالميراث لإبنه أنطوني الذي نفذ وصية والده بإهداء القصر والحدائق إلى بلدية الإسكندرية العام 1918 م.. .
