join us!

We want to bring back the tradition of celebrating Sham El Nessim in Montazah Gardens, just like our grandparents used to do!

What if you spent the day exploring the rich history of Montazah while also enjoying delicious spring flavors? Sounds fun, right?

footnotes and The Alexandria Deli have teamed up to create a sensory walk through Montazah Gardens, where stories and flavors bring the past to life.

Together, we’ll explore its elegant paths, uncovering royal history, seaside memories, and Mediterranean flavors.

Walk with us as we bring Montazah’s gardens, and their forgotten flavors, back to life.
