Alexandria and related destinations
Between the Mediterranean and Lake Mariout, this ancient city blends Greco-Roman ruins with seaside cafés where locals debate politics over strong coffee. Wander through the modern Bibliotheca Alexandrina, a stunning tribute to the legendary ancient library. The Corniche promenade offers perfect people-watching, while Pompey's Pillar stands as a curious Roman column with an improbable name. Dive into history at the Alexandria National Museum, housed in a restored palace.
