Alexander and his entourage had decided to take up residence in the western part of the city, reserved exclusively for the nobility.
It was a hilly part of the city, and being higher than the other parts meant cool air and a much better view.
The location also blew all foul smells away from them, keeping its residents sweet and fresh.
Alexander's military commanders and various artisan leaders took up residence in the many empty noble houses, while the slaves and soldiers were placed in the various barracks and servants' quarters attached to the noble house.
Alexander, accompanied by the royal entourage naturally took over Pasha Muazz's estate, which proved true to its status in grandeur and opulence.
The total area it encompassed was huge, almost two square kilometers in its entirety as the manor estate extended well out of the city.
