The story of Stanley Bridge

Stanley Bridge opened in 2001 to carry the Corniche road over Stanley Bay, a small crescent beach lined with colourful bathing cabins. Its four Islamic-style towers quickly became a symbol of modern Alexandria.

At night, the bridge is lit and reflects in the water, and locals gather along the sea wall to enjoy the cool breeze.
