About Alexandria

Alexandria, located on the Mediterranean coast of Egypt, is a historic city known for its ancient landmarks, vibrant culture, and seaside charm. With a population of over 5 million, it is Egypt’s second-largest city and an important hub for commerce and tourism. Founded by Alexander the Great, Alexandria’s rich history includes its status as a center of learning and home to one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World—the Lighthouse of Alexandria.

The city has a Mediterranean climate, with mild, rainy winters and warm, dry summers. The best time to visit is from October to April, when the weather is pleasant and ideal for exploring the city and its coastal attractions.

Borg El Arab Airport, located about 40 kilometers from Alexandria’s city center, serves as the primary gateway for international travelers. Saudi Arabian citizens have convenient travel options with direct flights available from Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam. Airlines such as Saudia, Flynas, and Nile Air provide regular connections to Alexandria.

Alexandria’s culinary scene reflects its Mediterranean location and Egyptian traditions. Visitors can enjoy dishes like seafood specialties fresh from the Mediterranean, kebda eskandarani (Alexandrian liver), and molokhia (green soup served with rice or bread). Local restaurants and cafes along the Corniche offer scenic dining experiences.

Key attractions in Alexandria include the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, a modern library and cultural center inspired by the ancient Library of Alexandria, and the Qaitbay Citadel, a 15th-century fortress overlooking the Mediterranean. The Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, an ancient Roman burial site, and the Montaza Palace Gardens are also popular destinations for tourists.

Saudi Arabian citizens can visit Egypt, including Alexandria, visa-free for up to 180 days. A valid passport is the only requirement, making Alexandria an easily accessible and attractive destination for exploring Egypt’s Mediterranean coast and historical treasures.
