Alexandria
Alexandria is Egypt's second largest city, its largest seaport, and the country's window onto the Mediterranean Sea. The city is a faded shadow of its former glorious cosmopolitan self, but still worth a visit for its many cultural attractions – particularly the new Library of Alexandria – and still-palpable glimpses of its past.
- City with about 5,360,000 residents
- …lies at an elevation of around 10 metres (20 feet)
- …has the IATA airport code ALY
- Description: port city on the Mediterranean coast of Egypt
- Also known as“Al Iskandariya”“Al Iskandarīyah”“Alexandria, Egypt”“El Iskandarīya”“Iskandariyya”“Iskindirîya”“Mediterranean’s Bride”“Pearl of the Mediterranean”
