Alexandria Cruise Deals

Although it may have lost some of its past grandeur, the Egyptian seaside town of Alexandria still provides visitors with an enchanting respite from the hustle and bustle of Cairo. However, all is not lost when it comes to the history of this city as a visit to the National Museum, the ruins of the Roman amphitheatre or a stroll to Fort Qaitbey at the harbour entrance are great ways to delve into the heritage of Alexandria, the latter offering amazing views of the Mediterranean. Its proximity to the sea also makes this city the ideal destination for seafood lovers who can pop to one of the numerous fish markets, choose their own freshly caught fish and take it to one of the surrounding grills to be cooked to order before their eyes.
