Holidays in Alexandria
Famous for being called the "Pearl of the Mediterranean,” the captivating Alexandria will fascinate you with its mix of history and modernity.
Although very little remains of the old city,
Alexandria still retains its Mediterranean ambience and old European residence houses,
combined with old cafes and Greco Roman monuments.
The Catacombs of Kom el-Shouqafa, the underwater ruins of Montazah and Maamoura and the city’s vibrant arts scene make Alexandria a great sightseeing destination.
Abu al-Abbas al-Mursi Mosque and the Coptic Cathedral of St. Mark are also sights to behold.
The beauty and cosmopolitanism of Alexandria inspired great authors such as the British novelist E.M. Forster,
the Greek poet Constantine Cavafy who respectively lived in Alexandria in the early and late 19th century, and Lawrence Durrell who lived and wrote about the city during World War II.
Named in honour of Alexander the Great, Alexandria has a fascinating history dating back more than 2000 years.
Cleopatra's Needles are perhaps Alexandria's best-known exports; yet still remaining are mosques, churches, a synagogue, a greek quarter, a Turkish quarter, a citadel and a fort (Fort Qaitbey).
Alexandria is also probably Egypt's most understated beach resort. Basking in Mediterranean sunshine throughout long summer months, Alexandria is only 2 and a half hours away from Cairo by road or train - making it an ideal two-centre holiday destination.
Holidays in Alexandria are unique, offering a taste of authentic modern Egyptian life in a relaxed seaside setting that is less remote than the Red Sea resorts and combines city life with a beach culture.
