Discover Egypt's second city — the pearl of the Mediterranean. Alexandria is where Cleopatra once ruled, where the world's greatest library once stood, and where Egyptian, Greek, and Roman cultures merge into something utterly unique.
Start at the stunning Bibliotheca Alexandrina, the modern reincarnation of the ancient Library of Alexandria. Visit the Roman catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, the Citadel of Qaitbay (built on the site of the ancient Lighthouse), and the beautifully preserved Montazah Palace gardens.
Experience Alexandria's legendary food scene: fresh seafood on the Corniche, Egyptian breakfast at a local ahwa (café), and the city's famous sweet kunafa.
A day trip takes you to El Alamein, the WWII memorial site on the Mediterranean coast, followed by a picnic on pristine white-sand beaches.
This trip is ideal for history lovers and women who want to see a side of Egypt most tourists never discover.
