~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ALEXANDRIA "The Pearl of the Mediterranean".
The second largest city in Egypt, Alexandria has an atmosphere that is more Mediterranean than Middle Eastern ; its ambience and cultural heritage distance it from the rest of the country although it is actually only 225 km. from Cairo.
Built in 1999, the new City Gate on the Desert Road is located at the toll station 30 km outside the city limits. The new gate celebrates the Greco-Roman heritage of the city in its style

 When we lived in Alex 1980 there was no fast food other then the local filafal shops. San Giovannis was one of our favorite restraunts!! Please, does anyone have the Recipe for San Giovanni's Tomato Soup? Thanks!
