Introducing our 1st round of

FACI Team

The second largest city in Egypt, Alexandria has an atmosphere that is more Mediterranean than Middle

Eastern.

Its ambiance and cultural heritage distance it from the rest of the country although it is only 225 km. from Cairo.

Founded by Alexander the Great in 331 BC, Alexandria became the capital of Graco-Roman Egypt; its status as a beacon of culture is symbolized by Pharos, the legendary lighthouse that was one of the Seven Wonders of the World.

The setting for the stormy relationship between Cleopatra and Mark Antony, Alexandria was also the center of learning in the ancient world, but ancient Alexandria declined, and when Napoleon landed he found a sparsely populated fishing village.

Since the 19th century Alexandria has played a new role, as a focus for Egypt's commercial and maritime expansion. This Alexandria has been immortalized by writers such as E.M. Forster and Cavafy. Generations of immigrants from Greece, Italy and the Levant settled here and made the city synonymous with commerce, cosmopolitanism and bohemian culture; Lawrence Durrell described it as " The capital city of Asiatic Europe, if such a thing could exist".

ABOUT ALEXANDRIA

Historical monuments

Pompey's Pillar, Karmouz. An ancient

monument, this 25-meter-high granite

column was constructed in honor of the

Emperor Diocletian in AD 297. The

confined area where the column stands

also has other ruins and sculptures such as

the Serapium oracle. Also beside this area

is a very big shopping center for cloth and

furniture called "El-Saa3a," where you can

find many types of cloth or clothes.

Citadel of Qaitbay, Ras el-Tin .One of the icons

of the city at a beautiful location, the fortress

overlooks the Mediterranean Sea and the city itself.

Built by Mameluke Sultan Abdul-Nasser Qa'it Bay in

1477 AD but razed and reconstructed twice

since.This citadel was built in 1480 by Sultan

Qaitbay on the site of the Pharos Lighthouse, to

protect the city from the crusaders who used to

attack the city by sea. The Citadel is situated at the

entrance of the eastern harbor on the eastern point

of the Pharos Island. It was erected on the exact site

of the famous Lighthouse of Alexandria. The

lighthouse continued to function until the time of

the Arab conquest, then several disasters occurred

and the shape of lighthouse was changed to some

extent, but it still continued to function. During the

11thcentury an earthquake destroyed the top of

the lighthouse and the bottom was used as a

watchtower. A small Mosque was built on the top.

About 1480 A.D the place was fortified as part of

the coastal defensive edifices. Later castle looking

citadel was built as a prison for princes and state-

man. Now it’s a Maritime Museum.

Roman Theatre, Kom El-Dikka,. Built in the

2nd century AD, this Roman amphitheater has

13 semicircular tiers made of white and gray

marble, with marble seats for up to 800

spectators, galleries and sections of mosaic-

flooring. In Ptolemaic times this area was the

Park of Pan, a pleasure garden surrounded by

Roman villas and baths

Montazah Palace, El

Montazah, Built in 1892 by

Abbas II of Egypt Abbas Hilmi

Pasha, the last khedive of Egypt.

One of the palace buildings,

the Haramlek, now contains a

casino on the ground floor and a

museum of royal relics on the

upper levels, while

the Salamlek has been converted

into a luxury hotel Parts of the

extensive gardens (over 200

acres) are open to the public.

Getting to Alexandria

Arriving at Cairo International Airport

By train

From Cairo, frequent trains from Ramses Station are probably

the best way to get to Alexandria. To reach Ramses Train

station a taxi or a mini bus should be taken from the airport

gate to the mentioned destination. Trains run at least once

every hour from 6 AM to 10 PM, but try to choose either an

express or the pride of Egyptian Railways, the French-

built Turbo, which takes only 2 hours 10 minutes for the

journey. 1st/2nd class tickets LE 50/35 one-way. Reservation is

obligatory in express trains.

For the return journey, trains depart from Misr Station, a 10-

minute stroll south of the Corniche along Nabi Daniel St, as well

as the Sidi Gaber Station.

By Bus

Several bus companies offer a bus service into Alexandria at a

very low price range: 80-100LE. Buses are air conditioned and

come complete with a hostess trolley service. Companies

include Golden Arrow, West Delta, Super Jet, Pullman and El

Gouna. Operating times vary from one company to another,

but there are trips between Cairo and Alexandria virtually every

hour from early morning till midnight.

Note that while the buses themselves are perfectly

comfortable, the duration of your journey from Cairo to

Alexandria (and vice versa) will depend on your pick-up/drop-

off point. Most buses start out from the Almaza Bus Station

in Heliopolis and stop by Midan Tahrir and Giza before finally

setting out to Alexandria; if you join from Heliopolis expect a 4-

5 hour trip rather than the average 2-3. To reach Almaza Bus

station in Heliopolis a taxi or a mini bus should be taken from

the airport gate till the destination.

There are a number of bus pick-up/drop-off points inside

Alexandria. These are usually either at Maw'if Gadid Station

(except El Gouna, which uses Sidi Gaber station) which is a bit

far from the city of Alexandria so it shouldn't cost more than a

10 LE cab ride, 15 LE max. Don't take a taxi with anyone that

approaches you right outside of the bus. Walk outside the

station and catch a taxi there if you must. There is also a bus

from Maw'if Gadid to Sidi Gabr, and from Sidi Gabr most parts

of the city are accessible by minibus or tram if you are looking

to save money.
