Tourist Attractions in Alexandria

Discover the best Tourist Attractions in Alexandria

What do you do in Alexandria? What are the best tourist attractions in Alexandria? Many questions come to mind when thinking about visiting Alexandria. Alexandria is one of the most popular places of interest in Egypt and has beautiful tourist attractions that you must know.

On this page, you will enjoy knowing and reading a lot of information about the most outstanding attractions in Alexandria, such as the Alexandrine Library, Quitbay Fortress, and much more.

Also, for many years the city was a beacon of knowledge. Just as the great Alexandria Lighthouse – one of the 7 wonders of the ancient world – pointed the way for navigators looking for that already important port city, the Library of Alexandria attracted the greatest scholars of the west and east of the time.

For those who like history, there is no way not to like Egypt and, especially, Alexandria, a city that is a symbol of the meeting of two great civilizations. We like to have stretched our passage through Egypt a little more to take a trip there. But without further ado, see the top Alexandria tourist attractions.

Here're the most famous tourist attractions in Alexandria

Alexandria is the greatest and least known historical city. It is the home of semi-legendary historical figures and wonders of the world, and today only reminiscences of Alexandria's glorious ancient past are represented by its magnificent tourist attractions.

Alexandria Highlights

  • Soak in the 19th-century grandeur through a puff of sheesha (water pipe) smoke or a kickstart- strong coffee at one of Alexandria’s beautiful period cafés.
  • Try to grapple with the immense amount of ancient history made in Alexandria at the city’s impressive Alexandria National Museum.
  • Wander down the dusty, donkey-filled street of Rosetta and admire the beautifully restored Ottoman architecture of this once-important seaport.
  • Be reminded of the ultimate toll paid by soldiers on all sides of the WWII North Africa campaign at El Alamein.
  • Soak in the stunning white sands and aqua waters of the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde town of Marsa Matruh – a comatose hamlet in the low season or a heaving holiday metropolis in the summer months

Best Time to Visit Alexandria Attractions

  • Alexandria has a Mediterranean climate, with warm humid summers and mild rainy winters.
  • The daytime can be humid in summer, with temperatures averaging 31°C (88°F), but evenings are usually cooler and breezy, especially by the Corniche.
  • Winters can get cold, with daytime highs as low as 12°C (53°F), with occasional rain and sometimes hail.
  • The best time to visit Alexandria is in spring (March-June) and autumn (September-November), since it's at its busiest in summer when Egyptians flock down to escape the searing heat of Cairo.
