Welcome to Alexandria, the city that once stood as the capital of the ancient world and home to Cleopatra, the most beautiful woman of her era. This city holds a special place in Egypt, offering a unique blend of history, culture, and modernity. Unlike most of Egypt, which experiences relatively hot weather, Alexandria enjoys a mild climate due to its location on the Mediterranean Sea. This makes it a refuge even for Egyptians in winter, who visit to enjoy the rainy weather.

The original inhabitants of Alexandria were ancient Greeks, Romans, and Macedonians, which gives the city a distinctly European feel compared to Upper Egypt. The Mediterranean influence is evident in its local cuisine, with seafood being a prominent feature, exemplified by its large fish market.

During the era of the Egyptian monarchy, Alexandria was favored by kings, leading to the construction of many palaces such as Montazah Palace and Ras El-Tin Palace. The locals have a distinct dialect and cultural diversity, influenced by their historical connection to the Mediterranean Sea, making Alexandria a unique gem on the Mediterranean coast
