3/41.- Alexandria, al-Corniche

In this photo you can see the beautiful bay of Alexandria. Thanks to its more than 140 km of beaches, Alexandria is one of the most popular summer resorts in the middle East. For decades this has been the summer destination for the elite of the overpopulated Cairo.

The communication of this city with the capital of Egypt is excellent: two major highways and a railroad line make possible to do the 225 km that separate both cities in three or four hours, or even less. It is also possible to get here by plane with one of the daily flights from Cairo. Some air lines also operate weekly flights from and to Frankfurt, Athens, and London (via Damascus).
