What to see in Alexandria (Egypt)

Alexandria is a city with a long history, where ancient civilizations and the sea atmosphere intertwine. Founded by Alexander the Great, it has long been a center of science and culture, and the memory of the Great Library of Alexandria and the Pharos Lighthouse is still felt in the image of the city. Today Alexandria lives between the noise of modern streets, green gardens and a light Mediterranean breeze, creating a unique atmosphere for walks and discoveries.

Manufactures and facilities

The man-made sights of Alexandria amaze with the diversity and depth of history: the modern Stanley Bridge, which has become a symbol of the city embankment; the new Alexandrina Library with expositions and cultural programs; the palaces and gardens of Montaza and Ras al-Tina, preserving the atmosphere of the monarchist era; the Kait Bay fortress, towering on the cape; the Kom el-Shukafa catacombs and the Serapeum temple, revealing the ancient layers of the city. The architectural and religious ensemble highlights the mosques of Abu al-Abbas and El-Mursi Abul Abbas, Coptic churches and museums that tell about the multifaceted heritage of Alexandria.

Natural attractions and places

The natural corners of the city and its surroundings give tranquility and lively landscapes: Antoniades and Montaza parks with well-groomed alleys and sea views, Royal Lake with picturesque shores, Mamura beach with a pleasant coastal area and long embankments, where it is especially good to meet the sunset. Green spaces and sea views create excellent conditions for walks, picnics and photo shoots, and the proximity of the Mediterranean Sea gives each route a special ease.
