    • Pop down to the seconds bazaar. Where mainly women shop for fabric and clothing. You can pick up some beautiful fabrics for next to nothing. It's interesting to watch the women shop and haggle for their purchases.

    • On the northern tip of the Eastern Harbour, Sultan Qaitbey's Fort is an Alexandrian landmark. The Fort is on the original site of Pharos, Alexandria's ancient lighthouse, built in 279BC to a height of 125m and topped with a statue of Poseidon. Although Pharos was restored at various times it had finally crumbled by the time that the original Fort was built here, in the 1480s.
    Today, the Fort contains a mosque and the Naval Museum and provides wonderful views of the city and the Mediterranean.
