History
The history of naming the neighborhood by this name goes back to the Greek "Zezenia", the general consul of "Belgium" in Egypt who realized the importance of the city of "Alexandria", the second capital of Egypt, and bought a land and after a period of time Al-Khawaja "Zezenia" sold part of the land to the government this is to extend the tram line. After extending the line, the area began to be built and people knew it and settled in it, so the area was called the “Zezenia” neighborhood in relation to the first owner of the area, which is the name given to the neighborhood until our time.
