Many of the roads running around the Cape Peninsular, south of Cape Town, have been constructed in the form of corniches. A good example is part of Victoria Road running through the suburbs of Clifton and Bantry Bay.

===Libya===
The [[Tripoli, Libya|Tripoli]] Corniche, also known as Al-Fatah Street, runs along the Mediterranean from the Waddan Bridge to the roundabout at Tripoli's sea port entrance.

===Egypt===
Any waterfront passage along a body of water is classed as a corniche in [[Egypt]]. Most [[Nile]] valley and [[Nile Delta|Delta]] cities overlooking the 1000&nbsp;km river course and two branches in the country have one or two corniche streets (east and/or west banks). For example "Corniche [[Giza]]" and "Corniche [[Cairo]]", the longest Egyptian corniche. Other cities such as [[Mansoura]], [[Damietta]] and [[Luxor]] also have corniches.

* The 18&nbsp;km '''Corniche al-Nil Street''' (Arabic: شارع كورنيش النيل) promenade in Cairo (east bank of the [[Nile]]) runs from the [[Maadi]] district in the south, to the mouth of the Ismailia Canal in [[El Sahel|al-Sahel]] district in the north. Building numbers take on one to two digits in [[Maadi]] where numbering starts, where for example the Holiday Inn hotel is 29 A Corniche al-Nile,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Holiday Inn & Suites Cairo |url=https://www.ihg.com/holidayinn/hotels/us/en/cairo/caims/hoteldetail |website=IHG}}</ref> and up to four digits in the northern half due to it length, where the [[Ramses Hilton]] hotel's address in [[Boulaq|Bulaq]] is 1115 Corniche al-Nil.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Egypt Holidays - Ramses Hilton, EG |url=https://www.hilton.com/en/hilton/ |access-date=2023-02-18 |website=Hilton |language=en}}</ref> The street colloquially takes on the names of some of the districts and neighbourhoods it passes through such as the [[Maadi]] Corniche,<ref>{{Cite web |last= |title=Cornich El Maadi |url=https://aqarmap.com.eg/en/neighborhood/cairo/el-maadi/kornish-el-maadi/ |access-date=2023-02-18 |website=Aqarmap |language=en}}</ref> and Corniche Masr al-Qadima ([[Old Cairo]]).

Though the word itself comes from French, the Egyptian usage has led neighboring Arab countries, which are not [[francophone]] and have no French influence, to adopt the word. These include Sudan, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar.{{Citation needed|date=May 2020}}[[File:DumyatCorniche.jpg|thumb|[[Corniche Damietta]]]]
