Alexandria

Alexandria is in northern Egypt and is its second largest city. Also the largest seaport in the region, it has a population of 4 million inhabitants.  
A summer resort city, it enjoys temperate climate. Winters average 45F and summers are warmer at 90F.
Founded by Alexander the Great in 331 BC, the city was the capital of Greco - Roman Egypt. Today, because of its natural gas and oil pipelines from the Suez Canal, it is an important industrial centre, as well as a centre of maritime archaeology.
A city draped in history and culture, it is Egypt’s most multi-ethnic city.

Overall Guide : We have lived here 6 years and for the most part, the people are friendly, helpful and mean it.

Respect the culture, over look some things and be polite you will have a very memorable visit.
