The history of Alexandria dates back to the city's founding, by
Alexander the Great, in 331 BC. Yet, before that, there were some
big port cities just east of Alexandria, at the western edge of
what is now Abu Qir Bay. Canopic (westernmost) branch of the Nile
Delta still existed at that time, and was widely used for
shipping.AlexandriaAlexander the GreatAbu Qir BayNile Delta After
its foundation, Alexandria became the seat of the Ptolemaic rulers
of Egypt, and quickly grew to be one of the greatest cities of the
Hellenistic world second only to Rome in size and wealth.Ptolemaic

new capital of Egypt, Fustat, was founded on the Nile. After
Alexandria's status as the country's capital ended, it fell into a
long decline, which by the late Ottoman period, had seen it reduced
to little more than a small fishing village. The city was revived
in the early 19th century by Muhammad Ali, the viceroy of Egypt, as
a part of his early industrialization program.Arabscapital of
