What are the attractions on the coastal city of Alexandria?

Often referred to as the ‘Pearl of the Mediterranean’, Alexandria not only has pristine beaches and a scenic coastline, but its history is also just as captivating. Founded by Alexander the Great in 331 BC, it is Egypt’s second-largest city and boasts influences from ancient Greece and Rome so expect ancient ruins and wonders, modern structures and local delights.

Must visits include the Bibliotheca Alexandrina – an architectural wonder housing several museums including the antiques museum, manuscript museum and a planetarium.

Relics and ruins – with a rich history the Roman amphitheatre is a stunning remnant of the city’s past. The Temple of Serapeum showcases the religious significance, while Pompey’s Pillar stands as a tribute to Roman triumph. The Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa is an immersive experience that brings the past to life.

Take the scenic Corniche walk – the picturesque promenade offers stunning views of the sea and the city’s skyline. It’s particularly joyous in the late afternoon and evening.

Sample café culture – wherever you are in the world, sitting back and watching the world go by is certainly recommended. Alexandria’s modern coffee shops and traditional spots offer aromatic Egyptian coffee, refreshing mint tea and delicious pastries.
