ALEXANDRIA

ALEXANDRIA — FOUNDED 331 BCE BY ALEXANDER THE GREAT

Born from the vision of Alexander the Great, Alexandria was the ancient world’s window to the Mediterranean. It grew into a glittering cosmopolitan capital—a place where trade, philosophy, and the sea converged in a vibrant rhythm. Today, the city is a living tapestry of eras. The grand designs of the Ptolemies and Romans blend with centuries of rich Islamic heritage, creating a unique coastal atmosphere. It is a city of layers, both seen and unseen, where modern life moves against the horizon, and where the ancient royal quarters sleep silently beneath the waves, holding the memories of a legendary past.
