  • There are blue and yellow trams in Alexandria. I never travelled with the yellow line, which goes west from Mahattat Ramla. But I travelled with the blue line east from Mahattat Ramla to San Stefano, and later back the same way. The tram is slow and stops very often and it probably took more than 40 minutes to San Stefano. The fare was 25 piasters.

    I love trams, and wherever I go, if there is one, I will always make it a point to use them. Alex was no exception - so with some friends, we took the tram from the Eastern Harbor near Sidi Gaber back to downtown. It was a sloooow ride, alright, but I enjoyed the sights along the way, and the local flavor that went with them. It was cheap, too, 25 piastres (their equivalent of cents) per person. If you're not in a hurry, trams are a great way to see the sights from downtown area to the eastern side of the city such as the Mahmoud Said Museum and the Royal Jewellery Museum.

  • Tip Rating:
  • Alex's tram network is one of it's glories. Theyre not fast - in any sort of traffic you can can outwalk them. But they're ridiculously cheap - 25 piasters for a short journey and riding on one is a geat way just to see Alex's street life. Note that they have one carriage reserved for women. Just look before you board!

    Tram trip: Trams
    Trams are the oldest (the network was built in 1860) and cheapest, but the slowest means of transport in Alexandria. There are two kinds of tramways: the yellow ones and the blue ones. The yellow tramways go in direction to the West (nr 14 goes to Masr Station and nr 15 passes by Abu al-Abbas Mursi mosques, the Qaitbey an Ras at-Tin). The blue tramways go in direction to the East (nr 1 and 2 go to Montazah, 3 and 7 to Sidi Gaber and nr 5 and 8 to San Stefano). There's one more thing - the first car is usually women only!

    Alexandria has a pretty good Tram system. Once you have got used to your surroundings and got your bearings, this is a great an in expensive way of getting around.
