If you are tired of Cairo's routine and crowds and want to take a truce and snatch some time in front of the sea, then Alexandria is definitely the best place for you. Whether you plan to spend several days there or are only going for one day, walking alone in the fresh Alexandria air is enough to recharge your energy and then be able to start over. Alexandria is truly the bride of the Mediterranean, as they call it. It is the second capital of Egypt, and it has a history that made it a great place. The city of Alexandria witnessed the most important events and sites, such as the French campaign against Egypt, and its people resisted the attacks of the Anjazi occupation. It was also chosen by Alexander the Great as the capital of Egypt for more than a thousand years. Its privileged location, which overlooks the Mediterranean in the north and is surrounded by Lake Mariout in the south, on the Cairo-Alexandria Desert Road, made it a distinguished tourist place visited by many throughout the year. Spring and autumn are the best time to visit. Alexandria has a mild climate most of the time, and even with the winter rains, the place retains its own charm.
