Timeline
16:39
Find a quiet spot along the shore within the Montazah Royal Gardens. The gardens cover more than half the palace grounds and offer direct access to the Mediterranean waters. It is a good time to sit and wait for the light to change.
16:49
Check if there are any cafes or shops open in the vicinity. Since the context does not list specific food or drink venues, you will need to check the route for nearby options or bring your own refreshment. The golden light starts at 16:43, so this is the perfect window to settle in.
17:19
Watch the sunset. On 15 January, the sun sets at 17:19 toward the WSW. The sky will reflect off the warm Mediterranean Sea waters nearby. This is the key moment of the experience.
