Alexandria

Bride of the Mediterranean

Founded by Alexander the Great in 331 BC, Alexandria has long been celebrated as a Mediterranean jewel, a city of coastal glow where history meets the sea. Once the crossroads of civilizations, it served as Egypt’s main port and gateway to the world.

Once home to the legendary Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders, and the Great Library, a symbol of human knowledge and scholarship.

The city also has strong ties to Cleopatra, who once ruled from here, adding to its romantic allure and remarkable history.

Modern Alexandria blends past and present.

The Graeco-Roman Museum, Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa, and the Roman Amphitheatre highlight its layered heritage. The city is also a haven for food lovers, offering delicious cuisine rich in seafood and traditional Egyptian dishes capture Alexandria’s essence—where flavors, history, and Mediterranean Corniche breezes create an unforgettable experience.
