Littered potsherds. Faint wall outlines and structures. Forgotten graves. Great picnic sites. Located in Abu Qir Bay, off the Alexandrian coast, Nelson’s Island is named after Horatio Nelson based on the victory he led against the French army during the Battle of the Nile in 1789. Dr. Paolo Gallo, an Italian archaeologist, dated graves found on the island that date back to the momentous battle that occurred during the Napoleonic Wars.  Nelson’s Island is a great getaway if you have enough time while visiting Alexandria
