Vacations in Alexandria

The sensation of love is often identified as the effulgence of life and where could you experience it better than the Lighthouse of Alexandria, the second- largest city of Egypt. Stretching for almost 32 km along the Mediterranean coast in north- central Egypt, Alexandria is more Mediterranean than Middle Eastern in its appeal.


Enticements of Alexandria:

  • If your darling is a book worm, please her by touring the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, an eleven- story vasiform building which is the contemporary version of the ancient library of Alexandria and has a fascinating stock of more than eight million books.

  • Located near the Pharos Lighthouse and constructed by Sultan Qaitbey in the 1480s, Fort Qaitbay is an impressive citadel which played a major role in the defense of Alexandria by blocking the entry of crusaders through sea.

  • Gaze at the 25 metre high Pompey’s Pillar, a granite monument that was built in AD 297 to acknowledge the greatness of the Emperor Diocletian.
  • Inspect the Cisterns of Alexandria that supplied fresh water to the citizens of the city in order to know more about ancient Alexandria.

  • Visit the lovely summer dwelling of the polemic King Farouk, King Farouk Palace which is a fundamental historic home of Alexandria.
  • It would be truly ameliorating to journey through the Alexandria National Museum which chronologically displays more than 1800 archeological objects, starting from the Prehistoric and Pharonic times, moving on to the Graeco- Roman period and concluding with the Coptic and Islamic epoch.

  • The Graeco- Roman Museum is another important museum of the city which exhibits a copious collection of pieces from the Ptolemaic and Roman periods.

  • Dating back to the Ptolemaic and Roman periods, the temple of Sarapeum is regarded as the abode of the god Serapis.

  • Do not miss Kom El-Dikka, the Roman amhpitheater which was created in the 2nd century AD and be sure that you will be simply enamored by its 13 semicircular gray and white marble tiers.
  • Visit the religious site of Deir Anba Bishoi which reminds us of the monasic Christians who feared Roman persecution and fled away in the 4th century.

  • The site of Cleopatra’s self-annihilation, Caesareum or the Temple of Augustus is also worth visiting. Here it is noteworthy that once it was a plush temple which was beautifully adorned with parks, porticoes and libraries.

  • Take a stroll with your beloved along Corniche, a lovely 3 km wharf littered with restaurants and shops, and enjoy your evening there.

    Other attractions of Alexandria include Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa; Montazah Palace Gardens, the imperial gardens of Faruk, the last Egyptian King; Mosque of Abu al-Abbas al-Mursi and the ancient ruins of the Anfushi Tombs.

    For a well-fixed and satisfying holiday at Alexandria, arrange for your accommodation in advance. Some of the premium hotels in the city include El Salamlek Palace Hotel, Sheraton Montazah Hotel, Helnan Palestine Hotel, Renaissance Hotel, Hilton Alexandria Green Plaza, Africana Hotel, Maamura Palace Hotel, Mercure Romance and many others.

    Akin to the spirit of love, Alexandria is full of the unknown. Indulge in a stochastic exploration of the city and be sure that there will be surprises waiting for you at every bend. To delve deeper into the enigma of Alexandria please access Mydearvalentine.
