Itinerary
Alexandria's National Museum is a must-stop if you want to get to grips with the vast history of this famed city. As well as the displays, statuary, and antiquities unearthed in and around the city. *Bibliotheca Alexandrina reimagining of Alexandria's ancient Great Library, this gorgeously designed cultural center contains a host of museums. The Manuscript Museum with its magnificent collection of ancient texts and scrolls and the Antiquities Museum with its Graeco-Roman antiquities and statuary found during underwater exploration in the harbor are the two prime attractions. Museum and Planetarium that is aimed squarely at children *Fort QaitbeyWalk the long shorefront Corniche road heading west, and you'll finally arrive at Fort Qaitbey. Pharos Lighthouse - one of the seven wonders of the ancient world - but this squat and dinky fort has been standing guard over Alexandria's eastern harbor since 1480.

I had a wonderful and very educational trip to Alexandria with the wonderful Rasha and Karim. Rasha was extremely passionate and answered all my questions with a lot of patience and love. She was extremely wonderful and Karim was also a very nice driver. Rasha and I also had time to chat about other things and didn't have any moment of boredom. Would recommend highly!
