The city of Alexandria was a very beautiful city with a lot of fun, excitement, and many special places to visit and enjoy the beach, especially at night. It is a very charming city, as well as the people in it.

In Alexandria, you should definitely visit the Alexandria Library, the Qaitbay Citadel, the Royal Jewelry Museum, the Greco-Roman Museum, and the Corniche promenade. Alexandria is known for its villas and cafes, as well as fresh seafood and Mediterranean atmosphere. Cafe Trianon is a place with excellent food and the atmosphere is incredible. Spend some time in Alexandria if you are looking for rest. There are fewer tourists here than in Luxor, Aswan, or Cairo. Learn some Arabic during your stay, even though some people speak English, it is less common than in Upper Egypt and Cairo.

In the daytime usually everything is safe and there is no need for worry. Walking in the street and taking public transpirt are fine but I would suggest you avoid very busy places on the bus or metro or street so you don’t feel violated. And dont go out alone at night if you’re not familiar with anything

Alexandria is a crowded city, but people are helpful and any one can show the road if you are lost they can offer you help. Make sure also to take care generally like any place in the world better to be in public places and not to go somewhere when it's very late at night, being by the sea is the most you can feel safe and fell the beauty of the city
