Sharif Pasha Street
One of Alexandria's oldest and busiest streets, bustling with banks and currency exchange offices boasting unique architectural styles, is Sharif Pasha Street, later renamed Salah Salem Street after the July 1952 Revolution. The street begins at Consuls Square and ends at Fouad Street. It was named after Sharif Pasha, "the Father of the Constitution," the founder of the constitutional system in Egypt. Until the July Revolution, the street was considered one of Alexandria's most important commercial thoroughfares, distinguished by its offices, banks, and uniquely designed buildings. It housed the British Information Office and the Arab Socialist Union building, which was burned down during the 1978 bread riots and subsequently demolished, becoming a parking lot. Here are some old photos of the street.
