ALEXANDRIA (CHATBY) MILITARY AND WAR MEMORIAL CEMETERY Egypt
Chatby is a district on the eastern side of the city of Alexandria, between the main dual carriageway to Aboukir, known as Al Horaya, and the sea.
This cemetery is located centrally within the main Alexandria cemetery complex, which is bordered by Al Horaya on the south and the electric tramway, which is parallel with Sharia Champollion on the North.
Visitors can reach the entrance to the ALEXANDRIA (CHATBY) MILITARY & WAR MEMORIAL CEMETERY along the road Sharia Anubis, which lies centrally north/south through the cemetery area.
This cemetery has a central front entrance building with a metal gate/grill secured archway leading into it from two small grassed areas which form part of the roadside in front of the cemetery, which is bounded by a rendered wall.
