Alexandria is the second-largest city of Egypt (8 million of inhabitances). For Egyptians it means the same that for Russians S-Petersburg means. It is considered that the northern capital of Egypt was founded by Alexander the Great. The city has settled down a narrow strip along the Mediterranean Sea.
Its beautiful recently updated quay has a length of 20 kilometers. The modern architecture makes Alexandria more similar to European cities though the atmosphere differs from other cities of Egypt a little.
Alexandria involves tourists with the numerous sights which make this city a very attractive tourist center. I recommend visiting Alexandria necessarily, especially if you have already appeared in Cairo. It is located on the distance of 200 kilometers from the capital. |
