Alexandria
The second largest city in Egypt, known as "The Pearl of the Mediterranean", its ambience and cultural heritage distance it from the rest of the country although it is actually only 225 km from Cairo. Founded by Alexander the Great, its status as a beacon of culture symbolized by Pharoahs, the legendary lighthouse that was one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The setting for the stormy relationship between Cleopatra and Mark Antony, Alexandria was also the center of learning in the ancient world and it provides us great culture such as Citadel of Qaitbay,libarary of Alexandria and many more.
Welcome to Egypt (In Arabic we say AHLAN FI MISR). |
