Alexandria Trips – Tailor-Made Egypt Itineraries

Situated in northern Egypt, the port city of Alexandria is a renowned historical city. This dazzling jewel of the Mediterranean was founded by the legendary Alexander the Great, and ruled by the iconic Queen Cleopatra.

While it's perhaps most famous for its history as the home of the Great Library of Alexandria and the colossal Pharos Lighthouse (one of the seven wonders of the ancient world), we love modern Alexandria for its bustling cafés, markets, and laid-back Mediterranean spirit.
