About Alexandria
The city of Alexandria is considered the second largest city of Egypt and one of the most popular Mediterranean resorts. The city combines the ancient history with the atmosphere of the modern lifestyle. The culture and the whole style of the city in general differ quite a lot from the rest of the country: it s much more similar to Europe than any other local city. One of the main advantages of choosing Alexandria as the next travel destination is that it s quite easy here to combine resting on the beach with the most varied excursion programs.
A huge fort, which is protecting the entrance to the Eastern Bay, is considered nowadays one of the main sightseeings of Alexandria. Nowadays the building of the fort is occupied by the Historical Museum. Library of Alexandria is considered another popular local sightseeing, due to its absolutely unique architecture, reminding of the ancient Egyptian times and peaceful atmosphere of the inner yard.
Anyway, it s important to remember that Alexandria nowadays represent not only a popular tourist resort, but also a quite large modern city. There is a rather large number of the most varied restaurants, bars, cafes and casinos, literally spread all over its streets. Besides that, the prices in Alexandria are much lower than in any other Egyptian resorts.
