has an international airport but it is incredibly small (same size as the one of Kittilä in Finnish Lapland but not that good quality architecture). The technical equipment is 3rd world standard. We could not take off due to some fog because there were totally insufficient runway lights which made it necessary to stay a day in the hotel in Alexandria and the next night on Frankfurt airport because all passengers missed their connecting flights, I came back home with 24 hours delay. But you can go via Cairo airport, and the train from Cairo to Alex is only 2 hours. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

 Railway station by dedeckerm.
Do you know why ?
Because I have only 14 days for my holiday and with the car it took too much time, I think so!
Because if we go by car it's only a 'coming and going'.
Oh Yes, befor I forget it to say : we start our holidays always in Belgium !
RAILWAY STATION.
The historic building has been recently renovated. A panoramic view of the Station Square shows a modern statue (to the right) which commemorates the 1952 revolution. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

This is the first question what I will do once I get off the plane ??
Well I think taking a taxi from inside the airport is not a nice idea as it charges you too much,but if you have large bags so noway.
anyway you should know the location of your hotel where you are going ,dont pay the taxi more than 30L.E in anyway,he will ask for more just you ignore him . Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

If you want a safe tour to alexandria from cairo, take a trip with the rented car. It will be included in a package tour, just ask any travel agencies you deal with. It will be the most convienent way to travel to Alexandria from Cairo. You will spend around 3hours on the road, faster than the bus or train. Take a joyride!! Many farms (interesting gate decoration), awesome birdhouses, great arabic architecture buildings, and colorful fruit stand on the roadside. You may see the Giza pyramids from alexandria-cairo Road too. I thought I will see a bored desert schene on our trip but I was wrong. Theme: Car/Motor Home

 Boats in Alexandria by MalenaN
Arriving to Cairo in the morning with the night train from Luxor I and Rebecka from England, who travelled the same way as me, did not stay but went on to Alexandria. The 1st class tickets for Alexandria were finished so we got seats in 2nd class and the train was leaving in about an hour. The ticket was 16 pounds. In 2nd class the seats are made of a plastic material and they can be turned around to always face the direction of the train. A man walked through the train with a small carriage selling tea, coffee and snacks. I don’t remember the price of the tea but it was more expensive than in 3rd class. It takes about 3 hours to go from Cairo to Alexandria by train. In Alexandria the train first stops at Sidi Gaber Station were a lot of people will get off. We continued to the main station Masr station.
Alexandria - Cairo
We were five foreigners coming with the bus to Alexandria from Siwa and we were all going on to Cairo. Luckily the bus station is near to Sidi Gaber Station. Arriving to the station we asked a guard for the next train to Cairo and he said it was leaving next hour. But we guessed there was one going within a few minutes and hurried to the platform were we found a train to Cairo and jumped on. We came into 3rd class and were all lucky to get seats. The ticket could be bought on the train and was 10 pounds. The seats were not uncomfortable at all but better than 2nd class in my opinion (because the material they were not made of). Two men walked around selling tea, and it was cheaper than 2nd class. In Cairo the train stops at Ramses Station. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

Going back from Siwa to Alexandria (there are no direct buses to Cairo) it was not possible to buy the ticket until the evening before, after 8 pm. If you are going to go to Cairo it could be quicker to change buses in Marsa Matruh rather than in Alexandria (as those direct buses take the desert road to Cairo and not the agricultural road). But be sure first there are seats available on the buses as many people from Cairo go to Marsa Matruh for holiday. The bus I travelled with left Siwa at 7 in the morning. To change to a train for Cairo in Alexandria was quick and before it got dark I had found a hotel room (after trying two other hotels first). From Siwa there is also a night bus to Alexandria.

 San Stefano station by MalenaN

Alexandria is situated at the distance of 230 kilometers north-west Cairo. We got there by tourist bus. The excursion started at 7.00 a.m. It took us about 3 hours to reach the city and the same time to come back. We spent in the city about 7 hours. The excursion finished at 20.00 p.m. The road was rather good - better than between Hurghada and Luxor for example.
We made a stop at the café for 15 minutes. A cup of coffee costs LE5 ($1). But views out of the bus window weren’t so exciting as usually.
