Courtyard by Marriott Alexandria

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.

As soon as you arrive in Alexandria, you'll be struck by its quaint cobblestone streets, charming brick buildings, and picturesque waterfront views. The city's rich history is evident in its architecture, with many of its buildings dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries.

One of the most popular attractions in Alexandria is its Old Town district, which boasts over 200 independent shops and restaurants. Here, you can wander the streets and browse for unique gifts, antiques, and local crafts, or stop for a bite to eat at one of the many eateries that line the sidewalks.
