A Mediterranean corniche that feels more European than the rest of the country, a library rebuilt to honour the ancient one that burned, and catacombs and a sunken royal quarter divers still explore just offshore.
The best time to visit Alexandria is Oct–Apr, when typical daytime highs reach about 28°C (83°F).
