⚓ Discover the Coastal Splendor of Alexandria

Nestled along Egypt’s northern Mediterranean coast, Alexandria is a city where history, culture, and coastal beauty converge. Known for its rich heritage, stunning seafront, and vibrant modern life, Alexandria offers travelers a unique blend of ancient wonders and contemporary charm. Exploring this coastal gem is an invitation to stroll along historic streets, savor fresh seafood, and uncover stories that span millennia.

No visit to Alexandria is complete without exploring its historic landmarks. The legendary Bibliotheca Alexandrina pays homage to the ancient Library of Alexandria, once the largest repository of knowledge in the ancient world. Today, the modern library is a hub of culture, exhibitions, and learning, where visitors can explore literature, art, and history in a stunning architectural setting.

The Citadel of Qaitbay, perched on the edge of the Mediterranean, is another must-see. Built in the 15th century on the site of the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria—one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World—the fortress offers panoramic views of the sparkling sea and a fascinating glimpse into the city’s military past. Walking along its ramparts, you can imagine the centuries of history that unfolded along these shores.

For those who love to wander, Alexandria’s corniche and waterfront are ideal for leisurely strolls. The sea breeze, the sound of waves, and the view of fishing boats and ferries create a lively yet relaxing atmosphere. Along the coastline, local cafes and seafood restaurants provide the perfect spot to enjoy freshly caught fish while watching the sun set over the Mediterranean horizon.

Alexandria is also rich in cultural and archaeological treasures. Visit the Roman Amphitheatre, the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, or explore ancient ruins tucked into the city’s streets to uncover layers of history spanning Pharaonic, Greek, Roman, and Islamic periods. Every step in Alexandria offers a chance to connect with the city’s fascinating past and its multicultural heritage.

Beyond sightseeing, the city’s modern charm shines through in its art galleries, bustling markets, and lively neighborhoods. Cafes, boutique shops, and local artisans add color and energy to the cityscape, giving visitors a taste of everyday life alongside iconic landmarks.

Discovering Alexandria is more than a day trip—it’s a journey through time and along the shimmering Mediterranean coastline.
