Alexandria is the charming city, located west of Rosetta Nile branch, where the desert meets the sparkling waters of the Mediterranean.
Be picked up from your accommodation in Marsa Matrouh, Al-Alameen or the North Coast and head towards Alexandria City. Visit the Graeco-Roman Museum, erected in 1892. The Museum consists of 27 halls and an attractive garden, which offer an excellent introduction to Egypt's Greco-Roman period.

Following lunch, you will visit Alexandria Bibliotheca. The Great Library of Alexandria was one of the largest and most significant libraries of the ancient world. The idea of reviving the old legendary library dates to 1974, officially inaugurated on 16 October 2002 to mark the beginning of the 21st century.
