Founded by Alexander the Great, Alexandria once stood as the intellectual center of the ancient world. Today, it’s a unique blend of Greco-Roman ruins, Egyptian culture, and Mediterranean charm—making it one of Egypt’s most fascinating coastal cities.

Stroll along the Corniche, visit the modern Library of Alexandria, or dive into history at the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa and the Roman Amphitheatre. The Citadel of Qaitbay, perched on the edge of the sea, offers stunning views and echoes of ancient naval power.

Alexandria is slower-paced than Cairo, but full of depth, flavor, and historical richness. It’s perfect for travelers who enjoy archaeology with a side of sea breeze.
