Alexandria

In ancient Egypt Alexandria was one of the most famous cities in the world, founded by Alexander the Great in 331 BC and home to Cleopatra. It was Egypt’s capital for almost a thousand years, and is the largest port in the country. It is known as ‘The Pearl of the Mediterranean’, and with its location and history, a major tourist destination. The ambience and cultural heritage distance it from the rest of Egypt, although it is only 225kms from Cairo.
