Alexandria

Alexandria Governorate, Egypt

4.5 (0)

Overview

Port city on the Mediterranean coast of Egypt. It sits on the Mediterranean coast, mildest and greenest between autumn and spring.

Why visit: Cairo's medieval quarters and Alexandria's Mediterranean seafront — cities layered from pharaonic to Ottoman to modern, all still occupied.

Things to do

›Walk one quarter properly rather than crossing the whole city
›Carry small notes — almost nothing here takes a card
›Agree taxi fares before setting off, or use a ride app instead
›Sit in an old coffeehouse for an hour; it is the real thing to do
