Alexandria Tours & Things to Do 2026
Egypt's Mediterranean city — the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, a seafront corniche, and Greco-Roman history.
Founded by Alexander the Great, Alexandria has a different rhythm from the rest of Egypt — a breezy corniche, faded belle-époque architecture, and a modern library built to echo the ancient one.
