Alexandria

Alexandria is a Mediterranean port city in Egypt; was the capital of Egypt from its founding by Alexander the Great in 332 BCE. During the Hellenistic period, it was home to a lighthouse ranking among the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World as well as a storied library. Today the library is reincarnated in the disc-shaped, ultramodern Bibliotheca Alexandrina. The city has Greco-Roman landmarks, old-world cafes and sandy beaches and the 15th-century seafront Qaitbay Citadel is now a museum.
