Day Tour to Alexandrina from Cairo

Overview

Alexandria offers a chance to explore Egypt’s second-largest city and busiest seaport. As you move through its streets and along the waterfront, you will get a sense of a place with around four million residents and a long maritime tradition that links the Mediterranean with routes toward the Red Sea. The city’s role as the country’s main port and centre of maritime activity will be clear from its harbour and coastal views. You will also learn about Alexandria’s ancient roots. Records suggest Alexander the Great founded the city around 332 BC on the site of a small village called Rhakotis. For nearly a thousand years it served as Egypt’s capital and became one of the ancient world’s great centres of learning. Along the way, you will encounter echoes of that scholarly past alongside institutions that keep Alexandria’s academic importance alive today. The city’s distance of about 225 kilometres northwest of Cairo and its lasting historical significance provide useful context as you discover how past and present meet in this storied Mediterranean port.
