Alexandria

Alexandria is a city that provides a rich experience, mixing history with local life. Known for its nice weather, especially in the summer, many visitors find it a good alternative to busy Cairo. The city is affordable, making it easy to enjoy local meals and shop for clothes or groceries almost any time of day—you can order just about anything at any hour! While Alexandria may sometimes seem a bit dirty, this aspect adds to the friendliness of its people. Locals are welcoming, giving you a chance to see a different side of life compared to usual tourist areas; you might hardly see other Western visitors during your trip. If you plan to visit, be ready for some challenges like language barriers and using public transport, which is not as developed as in other large cities. But with its beautiful coastal views, local traditions, and a slower way of living, Alexandria certainly makes a strong impression. Just remember to look beyond the obvious and enjoy the city’s history!
