Alexandria

Modern Alexandria pays homage to its intellectual legacy with the striking Bibliotheca Alexandrina, a grand architectural marvel that serves as a major library, cultural center, and museum complex, aiming to recapture the spirit of the ancient Great Library. The city’s long Corniche, a beautiful seaside promenade, invites leisurely strolls, offering refreshing sea breezes and views of the Mediterranean. Along this iconic stretch, you’ll find charming cafes, historical hotels like the Cecil, and the stunning Stanley Bridge, a modern landmark that lights up beautifully at night. Beyond the historical sites, Alexandria offers a lively contemporary scene with bustling markets like the Souk El-Attarine, fresh seafood restaurants, and a distinct cosmopolitan vibe shaped by centuries of diverse influences.
