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. If you love the beach you can go to many beaches. There are many nice hotels in many places. I really reccomend going there but in the winter because its not as crowded and traffic is better ... More

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 enco...

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 disappointed with the trip from the cruise ship to the Pyramids. I have saved all my life to ge there and the trash on each side of the streets was unbelieveable! The hawkers were all over me at the pyramids (maybe because I was a blonde female and with no husband! 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 ... More

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.

5.Ciaro and Egypt

Visited both Ciaro and Egypt this past July with our 2 children 9 & 17 years-old. There were times that we felt a bit uneasy due to over-agressive peddlers that tracked us with a vengence anytime we were in a tourist rich area such as at the pyrimids and when we failed to buy from them they would curse (they all used the same profanity aimed at women they never cursed at my husband). As frequent travelers we are very used to seeing the peddlers but they are typically respectful of the tourists. ... More

As frequent travelers we are very used to seeing the peddlers but they are typically respectful of the tourists. The Egyptian government should crack down on these men and have them be more gracious to the money spending tourists that do nothing but admire their culture and pump endless cash into their economy. I'm happy we went but I wouldn't go back.
