About this destination
Why travelers come to Alexandria
Alexandria trades the desert for the Mediterranean. Founded by Alexander the Great in 331 BC, it was once home to the Great Library and one of the Seven Wonders — the Pharos Lighthouse. Today the Qaitbay Citadel stands on the lighthouse's foundations, the modern Bibliotheca Alexandrina reimagines the ancient library, and the corniche is made for an unhurried afternoon walk with the sea on one side and belle-époque buildings on the other.
What’s included
- Qaitbay Citadel on the ancient lighthouse site
