About
Al Iskandariyah, more commonly known as Alexandria, is a city where history and modernity converge along the shimmering Mediterranean coast. Founded by Alexander the Great, this region is a tapestry of cultures, having absorbed influences from Greeks, Romans, and Arabs over centuries. Today, its streets hum with the energy of a port city, where the ancient meets the contemporary in a dance of contrasting yet harmonious rhythms. Alexandria's Corniche, the iconic seaside promenade, offers a glimpse of the city's maritime legacy, while the Bibliotheca Alexandrina stands as a modern tribute to the ancient library, housing millions of books and hosting cultural events that echo the intellectual vibrancy of its illustrious past.
