What to know before visiting Alexandria

Alexandria, Egypt’s second-largest city, is a historic Mediterranean port that blends ancient heritage with modern charm. Founded by Alexander the Great in 331 BC, it became one of the greatest cultural and intellectual centres of the ancient world, home to the legendary Library of Alexandria and the Pharos Lighthouse, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Today, Alexandria is a vibrant coastal city known for its seafront Corniche, beautiful beaches, and landmarks such as the Qaitbay Citadel, the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, and the modern Bibliotheca Alexandrina, which revives the spirit of the ancient library. The city also offers a mix of Greco-Roman, Islamic, and modern influences, creating a unique atmosphere for visitors. With its rich history, cultural diversity, and relaxed seaside lifestyle, Alexandria remains one of Egypt’s most fascinating destinations.
