El Salamlek Palace Casino

Alexandria is the second largest city in Egypt and home to the El Salamlek Palace Casino. If in the area, check out the Citadel of Qaitbay, dating back to 1477 AD, suggested to be the original site of the Lighthouse, one of the original 7 wonders of the ancient world. For a day trip try Montazah Palace and its 350 acre grounds and Montazah Royal Gardens. For beaches head to Montazah Beach or Maa’moura Beach for sunning and swimming or to participate in a myriad of available water sports. Consider chartering a boat to tour the Mediterranean coast.

Gaming

The casino is rather light in its offerings: a mere 22 gaming machines consisting of slots and video poker and 8 table games. Their 2 stud poker tables have a $2 minimum and a $200 maximum, their 3 blackjack tables run from $5 to $500, and roulette starts from as low as a dollar. There is also 1 mini punto banco table. Their casino may not be the most impressive going, but if you’re at the resort, it’s an easy dip down to the gaming floor to try your luck in a few hands of cards or a few spins on the slot. Remember, all it sometimes takes, is one spin! After all the outdoor sun, some inside relaxation time may be just what you're looking for.

Hotel/Accommodations

The El Salamlek Palace has 14 suites and 6 rooms equipped with air conditioning and satellite tv. The palace itself is located in the Montazah Gardens with views of the Mediterranean. Services and facilities include airport shuttle, a 24 hour front desk and a business centre. There’s a tour desk on site so be sure to ask about excursions into the city and to nearby attractions.

Dining

Decked out in a blue décor and overlooking the gardens and sea, is the Al Farida Restaurant, dishing up Italian and international dishes. For French cuisine head to Al Farouk Restaurant with its marble columns and silk fabrics. Head into town and find your own new favourite eatery, serving authentic Egyptian cuisine. Ask hotel and casino staff for recommendations on popular venues.

Entertainment/Nightlife

There’s a few bars and nightclubs in town such as Spitfire Bar, Mermaid Bar, and Sheikk Ali or choose Al Fouad Bar back at the palace with its live performers and piano accompaniment, open 11 am until 2 am. Spend the day at Maa’moura or Montazah Beach, sunning or swimming or walking along the Corniche. Particpate in water activities like snorkelling, scuba diving or jet-skiing. Visit local attractions like the Citadel of Qaitbay, supposedly built where the Lighthouse of Alexandria once stood, or stroll through the Montazah Royal Gardens. Ask the hotel about their organized tours and lesser-known local curiosities.
