Frequently asked questions
what to eat in Alexandria
Freshly grilled fish from Anfoushi market is a must; try molokhia soup or baklava—sweeter here than in other Egyptian cities.
best time to visit Alexandria
October to April, when temperatures stay 18–25°C (64–77°F); avoid summer’s intense heat and humidity.
is Alexandria safe at night
Generally safe. Stick to busy areas like the Corniche, and use official white-green taxis instead of unmarked cars.
how to get around Alexandria
Taxis (white with green stripes) are affordable and common; microbuses work for short trips. The Corniche is walkable.
Alexandria vs Cairo
Alexandria is coastal and relaxed, with Greco-Roman sites; Cairo is busier, with pyramids and Islamic history. Alex feels smaller, slower.
