The waterfront of ALEAXANDRIA, the corniche of ALEXANDRIA in Egypt

City of Alexandria, Egypt - the waterfront of Alexandria, the corniche of Alexandria in Egypt. Let's go to Alexandria which is a Mediterranean port city in Egypt. During the Hellenistic period, Alexandria was home to a lighthouse ranking among the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World as well as a storied library. The city of Alexandria also has Greco-Roman landmarks, old-world cafes and sandy beaches. Alexandria's 15th-century seafront Qaitbay Citadel is now a museum.
The Corniche of Alexandria is a waterfront promenade corniche in Alexandria, Egypt, running along the Eastern Harbour. It is one of the major corridors for traffic in Alexandria.
Alexandria was founded in c. 331 BC by Alexander the Great, king of Macedon and leader of the Greek League of Corinth, during his conquest of the Achaemenid Empire. An Egyptian village named Rhacotis existed at the location and grew into the Egyptian quarter of Alexandria. Alexandria grew rapidly to become an important centre of Hellenistic civilization and remained the capital of Ptolemaic Egypt and Roman and Byzantine Egypt for almost 1,000 years, until the Muslim conquest of Egypt in AD 641.
