Alexandria
Alexandria is a large city on the northern coast of Egypt on the Mediterranean. It is both a modern and ancient city with a population of more than 5 million people. Perhaps not as much an attraction as other Egyptian cities to tourists there are still things to see here.
Getting Around
As might be expected in such a large city, transport is generally not a problem with numerous taxis, buses, and tuktuks available. The city also has a modern tram system.
Things to See
There are a number of things to see of interest to tourists including the Serapeum of Alexandria, Alexandria Library, Fort Qaitbey in the harbour, and the amazing Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa.
Harbour and Corniche
Always good for a stroll, the harbour area has a good number of restaurants and things to see.
