Discover Alexandria
Situated in northern Egypt, the port city of Alexandria is a renowned historical city. This dazzling jewel of the Mediterranean was founded by the legend, Alexander the Great, and ruled by the iconic Queen Cleopatra. It is home to the Great Library of Alexandria and the colossal Pharos Lighthouse, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Soak up the old-world atmosphere while sipping coffee at a cafe, wander through the vibrant souk, stroll along the harbor area and take in the impressive Belle-epoque-era architecture. Don’t miss the ultra-modern, disc-shaped Bibliotheca Alexandria. Other highlights include a number of Greco-Roman landmarks, some lovely sandy beaches and a 15th-century seafront Qaitbay Citadel, which has been converted into a popular museum.
