Alexandria is an amazing city. Many people there are very nice it is very beutiful and there is alot of places you can go for fun. You can go shopping in many malls take your kids to a park go to historical monuments and buildings. Traffic in the summer was a big problem but in the winter its not like that.

Alexandria Egypt is a beautiful wonder. They've rebuilt and it looks amazing. They are becoming more and more westernized. I normally go for family visits and I would say that although Egypt is a great place to visit it is also very hard to get use to. It is so different culturally and that is why tourists always stand out. even though I have been there many times and I have family there I still feel the stares and such. there are many nice people there although it is true you may sometimes encounter those that may get upset if you don't buy what their selling but who wouldn't. Especially if their from a poor region. I do recommend visiting if you get a chance. You won't regret it. Also if you get a chance Cairo is another beautiful city to see.

I was literally rescued many times by strangers that couldn't believe they would not take \NO\ for an answer. They knocked my new $450. camera out of my hand and broke it.

I had to buy from them to get rid of them! At one time there were 5 camels with riders surrounding me to a point their own police had to help me out! I was very disappointed with the situation.
