Getting TO/AROUND: Trams are the oldest (the network was built in 1860) and cheapest, but the slowest means of transport in Alexandria.

There are two kinds of tramways: the yellow ones and the blue ones.

The yellow tramways go in direction to the West (nr 14 goes to Masr Station and nr 15 passes by Abu al-Abbas Mursi mosques, the Qaitbey an Ras at-Tin).

The blue tramways go in direction to the East (nr 1 and 2 go to Montazah, 3 and 7 to Sidi Gaber and nr 5 and 8 to San Stefano).

There's one more thing - the first car is usually women only!
