Holidays in Alexandria
Named in honour of Alexander the Great, Alexandria has a fascinating history
dating back more than 2000 years. Cleopatra's Needles are perhaps
Alexandria's best-known exports; yet still remaining are mosques,
churches, a synagogue, a greek quarter, a Turkish quarter, a citadel
and a fort (Fort Qaitbey).
Alexandria is also probably
Egypt's most understated beach resort. Basking in Mediterranean
sunshine throughout long summer months, Alexandria is only 2 and a
half hours away from Cairo by road or train - making it an ideal
two-centre holiday destination.
Holidays in Alexandria are unique, offering a taste of authentic modern Egyptian life in a relaxed seaside setting that is less remote than the Red Sea resorts and combines city life with a beach culture.
