Alexandria, the second-largest city in Egypt, is a historically rich city with 6 million people on the Mediterranean coast. It was founded by Alexander the Great in 331 BC, making it about 1400 years older than Cairo. Alexandria quickly became one of the wealthiest, largest, and most culturally diverse cities in the world. However, it has been through a lot over the years, with natural disasters, wars, and rebuilding destroying much of its history. Today, Alexandria is a modern city with a fascinating past.

Alexandria, founded by Alexander the Great in 331 BC, was the capital of Egypt for over 1000 years. The city was located on the Mediterranean coast and quickly became a major center of trade and culture. Alexandria was home to the Library of Alexandria, one of the largest and most important libraries in the ancient world. It was also home to the Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Alexandria remained a major city for centuries, but its importance declined after the Arab conquest in 642 AD
