Alexandria is famously known as the ‘Pearl of the Mediterranean’ for its stunning coastal setting. It's Egypt's largest seaport, where you can soak up a relaxed ambiance.

Start with a walk on the famed Corniche promenade, which stretches along the Mediterranean shore. Then visit the Citadel of Qaitbay, a formidable 15th-century fortress built on the exact site of the legendary Lighthouse of Alexandria. Here, you can admire incredible views of the sea and the Eastern Harbour.

The city is also rich in historical sites, including the striking Roman ruins of Kom al Dikka, which feature the only known Roman amphitheatre in Egypt. You must also see the towering Pompey’s Pillar, a majestic Roman triumphal column that is a symbol of the city’s deep roots. Finally, explore the impressive modern architecture of the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, a vast centre of knowledge and culture.
