In a nutshell
The antidote to chaotic Cairo and tout-central Luxor
23 Reviews Muntaza is the western-most part of the city that lies along the coast. It has a number of hotels and restaurants, and benefits from the fact that it is close to the former King’s palace. The district is not a historic one and, although you will find a number of interesting churches and mosques in...
37 Reviews This city has historically been a site of learning, a site where cultures met, and this attracted poets and writers for thousands years. In 2002 a new library was built in order to recapture the spirit of learning and openness of the ancent Biblioteca Alexandrina.
14 Reviews Alexandria has a long coast line, along which you will find a number of beaches reserved for the waterfront hotels and beach clubs, particularly in Muntaza. I’m not sure that I would go swimming in the water along the coast, given that sanitary regulations in Egypt are not of the same rigour as...
17 Reviews This is the most complete Roman ruin in Egypt. It was a small amphitheatre used for music and the reading of poetry and dates from the 2nd century AD. Other ruins have been excavated on the site. These include a bath house, and villas with well-preserved mosaics.
10 Reviews and 104 Opinions I stayed at the Hotel Palestine in Aug. 2007 (not on most recent trip). It is gorgeous and have...
4 Reviews and 103 Opinions We stayed at Renaissance Mariott in Alexandria originally for 3 days which we shortened to 2, in mid...
20 Reviews While in Alexandria I had to try its famous Fresh Fish. I looked around for a fine restaurant and stopped at Rakouda, which has a very fine architecture. For my surprise the Rakouda restaurant has no menu !!! - Costumers choose the fish or the seafood directly from the stand and discuss dishes with...
7 Reviews This establishment occupies an entire block between Ramleh tram station and the Corniche. The corniche side is a restaurant and the Ramleh side is a cafe/patisserie, serving a huge selection of excellent cakes and pastries as well as sandwiches. The Art Deco interior is wonderful and looks as if it...

4 Reviews Spit Fire is a bar down town and is mostly frequented by expats and foreign visitors such as tourists and sailors. You can have a beer here and also some food is served and in the mean time you can read all the signs stickers and name cards left by other visitors! Up to you!
14 Reviews I guess our round trip from Cairo to Alexandria very recently was quite comfortable. There is actually no hassle having the first class ticket which costs me a total of 243 Egyptian Pounds for 3 round trip tickets. I posted here the interior of the train and copies of our 6 tickets. BTW, I...
17 Reviews We came to Alexandria with a private tour organised by GSC tours a tour operator based in Alexandria. We came from Cairo which meant that driver and guide left Alexandria around 3 am, picked us up in hotel in Cairo at 6 am, took us to Alexandria, did the tour, then took us back to our hotel around 3...
3 Reviews On a few occasions during my stay I found myself wondering a local market, not sure of the name, but I am sure there are similar markets throughout Alexandria. They were alive, with local people doing their shopping, men sitting outside cafes smoking their "hubbly bubblies", shop keepers trying to...
5 Reviews Alexandria is blessed by a long Corniche, and this, of course, gives rise to a very healthy café culture. In the areas of the city such as Montazah, where there are many tourists and locals who come to enjoy the beaches, you'll find a large number of locales where you can enjoy coffee, tea, juice...
7 Reviews Corniche road is dangerious. USE THE TUNNELS!!! During the summer months there are at least 3-4 people hit and kill on this road every week j-walking. You're dead body is only worth 200LE, because that is the MAX fine a driver has to pay on the Corniche road if they hit and kill you..... USE THE...
1 Review Over 30 years of excavation have uncovered many Roman remains including this well-preserved theatre with galleries, sections of mosaic-flooring, and marble seats for up to 800 spectators. In Ptolemaic times, this area was the Park of Pan and a pleasure garden. The theater at one point may had been...
3 Reviews Taxi is the prime means of transport. These are atleast 15 years old cars for which I cant recognize the make honestly. English is very alien to everyone in Egypt. Best is to ask the hotel price of trip to any place by taxi. Only pay that much if you are predeciding the fare with the...
7 Reviews Alexandria can be just as hot as the rest of Egypt. However this is the place to catch an occasional ocean breeze. In the evening, carry a light sweater or jacket. Not too many foreign tourist visit Alexandria for extended periods of time, Alex is basically a vacation destination for Egyptians. Put...
10 Reviews The mission succeeded in cleaning up and preparing for tourist divers the location of Mark Antony's palace, the Timonium. It also cleaned up the wreckage of an ancient 35-metre wooden ship that lies on the bottom of Alexandria's harbour. Two gold coins dating to the second century AD were...
4 Reviews Walking further to the east of Montazah palace, you reach a sandy cove with a semi-private beach that is popular with picnicking families. There are also opportunities for some watersports and swimming, although the beach does not look too inviting. Across a Victorian bridge from the beach is a an...
23 Reviews Oh yes, you will enjoy your trip to Alexandria and walking is an experience you will treasure. I have seen people, the local young boys and girls, their parents whom you will be comfortable talking with. On our trip to Alex, we did a lot of walking from around the museum and most of the walking...
9 Reviews In the heart of Alexandria, at Mansheia near by Saint Catherine Square this main Greek Orthodhox Patriarchate is found. The street itself is called Greek Church Street "Share' Al-Kaneesa Al-Younaneah". It is one of the landmarks of Alexandria not only religiously but also architecturally and...

I love Alexandria - there is no doubt about it! Egypt is one country that my family will keep on coming back. Our brief stay in this city was memorable enough to think that this is the most exciting...
Alexandria with its 8 million residents is the second largest city of Egypt. For Egyptians the city means almost the same as for Russians St.Petersburg does. Alexandria is considered to be the...
Alexandria lies on a most wonderful sweep of bay. The Corniche is 25 km long . The picture shows Qait Bey in the backround to the right, built on the site of the old Pharos lighthouse. There is much...
