How was your trip to Alexandria?

Walk into Alexandria

Alexandria is the largest seaport in Egypt, the second largest city in China, a historic city and a summer resort along the Mediterranean coast. It is located in the west of the Nile Delta, near the Mediterranean Sea, in the northernmost part of Egypt. The city was founded in 332 BC, and it was named after the occupation of Egypt by Alexander the Great, the Greek Macedonian king. In ancient and medieval times, it was a famous city. It used to be the political, economic, cultural and trade center along the Mediterranean coast, with many places of interest. Alexandria, with beautiful scenery and pleasant climate, is Egypt's "summer capital" and summer resort, and is known as "Mediterranean bride" and "Egyptian bride". On the seaside avenue between Donggang Port and Caesar Palace, the street view in European architectural style is very interesting, as are the towering minarets and spherical roofs of mosques along the way. Alexandria is the most open city in Egypt, where 30% foreigners live for a long time. Western economy and culture have a great influence on it, which is obviously different from Cairo and other regions. Compared with Cairo, the urban landscape is more modern and westernized, and the diet, hygiene and residents' mental outlook are much better than those in other regions. Coupled with the special Mediterranean environment, it has the reputation of "Mediterranean bride" and "Egyptian bride".

Best season: July-September is the best time to travel. Alexandria, located on the southern bank of the Mediterranean, belongs to the subtropical Mediterranean climate and is one of the most famous leisure resorts in Egypt. Especially in summer, the heat in Upper Egypt is daunting, and Egyptians flock to the Nile Delta and Sinai Peninsula in the north, so Alexandria has the title of the summer capital of Egypt. Average temperature: winter 10-20℃, summer 20-30℃. Average water temperature: Except for the low temperature in February and March, all other months are above 17℃, and the highest September is generally lower than 25℃, which is suitable for swimming.
