The
neighborhood
of
Montaza
is
at
the
far
northeast
end
of
Montaza
District,
along
the
coast.
Built under
the
monarchy,
it
is
a
favored
tourist
spot
on
account
of
its
sizable
gardens
and
palaces
left
by
its
royal
heritage;
the
Egyptian
government
charges
a
nominal
fee
(25 LE as
of
2018). Montaza
Palace,
which
gives
the
park
its
name,
was
constructed
during
the
reign
of
the Khedive Abbas
II,
the
royal
family's
habit
of
summering
in
the
palace
eventually
drew
wealthy
Egyptians
and
foreigners
to
the
same
location
(although
foreigners
in
general
tended
to
congregate
at
the
opposite
end
of
the
city,
in Agami).
It
is
considered
to
be
quite
exclusive
to
be
in
possession
of
a
cabin
in
the
Montaza.
It
can
not
be
bought
and
is
usually
passed
down
from
generation
to
generation.
There
are
several
different
"suburbs"
within
the
Montaza,
the
most
exclusive
being
Aida.
Montaza
also
plays
host
to
a
noted
clock
tower
and
two
old
hotels
(the
Helnan
Palestine
and
Salamlek
Palace).
The Sheraton Montazah
is
actually
across
the
street
from
the
park,
in
the
neighborhood
of
Mandara.
