Alexandria is a nice, Mediterranean city, with wide boulevards along the coast, nothing like other Egyptian cities or towns I’ve visited. Even the people there are different, more polite and pleasant. |
|  | The city is situated in the north of Egypt, 208km northwest of Cairo, on the Mediterranean coast.
It was founded by Alexander the Great in 332 B.C. and soon became a cultural centre thanks to its great library, once the largest in the world.
The legendary Pharos Lighthouse was among the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. |
