Make the Most of Your Alexandria Stay

A city where history meets the sea

Alexandria stretches along Egypt's Mediterranean coast as a place where intellectual legacy and faded cosmopolitan elegance create an atmosphere unlike anywhere else in the country. The Bibliotheca Alexandrina, a striking contemporary structure, rises like a tilted disc beside the harbor, commemorating the ancient library that once made this city the scholarly capital of the Greco-Roman world. The 15th-century Citadel of Qaitbay stands where the Pharos Lighthouse—one of the Seven Wonders—once guided ships, while the Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa reveal an extraordinary fusion of Egyptian, Greek, and Roman funeral traditions carved deep underground.

Neighborhoods and waterfront culture

The Corniche serves as the city's social spine, where locals gather along the waterfront promenade. Downtown's Italianate buildings house historic cafes like Trianon and Délices, where writers and intellectuals once debated over coffee. The Greek Club offers fresh seafood with citadel views, while neighborhoods like Kafr Abdu provide tree-lined streets and sophisticated bistros. San Stefano's Four Seasons anchors the modern luxury district, and Montaza Palace Gardens offer 360 acres of manicured grounds along the eastern shore.

Practical considerations

Borg El Arab Airport connects the city internationally, 40 km southwest of center. Ride-hailing apps like Uber provide reliable transportation, while the historic tram system offers an authentic way to navigate between districts. Day trips to Rosetta reveal Ottoman architecture, and El Alamein's WWII sites lie 90 minutes west.
