Alexandria - Pearl of the Mediterranean Alexandria or as some call it pearl of the mediterranean was built by the Greek architect Dinocrates (332-331 BC) on the site of an old village, Rhakotis, at the orders of Alexander the Great. The city, immortalizing Alexander's name, quickly flourished into a prominent cutural, intellectual, political, and economic metropolis, the remains of which are still evident to this day. |

Hi Karim. Alex is really a nice place to visit. My friend here in Toronto who is from your place encouraged me to tour Egypt with him. I guess that will surely happen soon. Regards from Freddie of Toronto | Loubna Sat Nov 12, 2005 10:46 UTC
