Why is it the first city?

In Egypt, and for me at least ...
Alexandria is the first city I go to when I visit Egypt....
It's the oldest big city in Egypt named after Alxander the Great ,who had built it due to the history refferences.
It situates on the sea and this is an important point : it's the main sea port and it's the main destnation for tourists in the summer.

A lot of singers ( local, arab and international ) sing to Alexandria ...
When you come to it the time goes soon till you find yourself planning for leaving.
As soon as you leave you miss it ...
Try and tell me..
