Founded in 331 BC by none other than Alexander the Great, Alexandria rapidly became a major hub for Hellenic civilisation, eventually replacing Memphis as Egypt's capital. As the magnificent jewel of the ancient Mediterranean, the city was renowned for its Great Library, Lighthouse of Alexandria and the fascinating Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa. Although the city's prominence eroded over time, its coastal location helped maintain its importance as a centre for international shipping and trade. Today, Alexandria continues to captivate visitors with its vibrant atmosphere, ancient wonders and charming blend of East and West.

When to visit Alexandria

The ideal time to visit this captivating city is between June and October, when the weather is pleasant and the prices are somewhat lower. In July, the long daylight hours offer ample time to enjoy the best of Alexandria's water activities. However, it's best to avoid December due to heavy rainfall. For those wanting to explore the city's many historical attractions, spring is another excellent time to visit, thanks to warm temperatures and delightful weather. Remember to wear light, comfortable clothes and closed-toe shoes suitable for the sandy terrain, and experience the endless charm of Alexandria.
