Alexandria is a major city in Egypt. Lying at the western edge of the Nile River Delta, it extends about 40 km (25 mi) along the country's northern coast. It is Egypt's principal seaport, the second largest city after Cairo, and the largest city on the Mediterranean coast. Founded in 331 BC by Alexander the Great, Alexandria was one of the largest and most important cities of antiquity and a leading hub for science, culture, and scholarship.

Alexandria is a city with a fascinating past, having been founded by Alexander the Great in 331 BC. Today, you can still see remnants of its ancient history through the many historical sites scattered throughout the city. Be sure to visit the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, a stunning modern library that pays homage to the ancient Library of Alexandria, one of the most famous libraries of the ancient world.

In addition to its historical attractions, Alexandria is also known for its stunning beaches. Take a dip in the crystal-clear waters of Mamoura Beach or head to the quieter Abu Qir Beach for a more secluded experience. And no visit to Alexandria would be complete without trying some of the city's famous seafood, which can be found in abundance at the many local restaurants.
