Alexandaria
Location: Sandwiched between both Lake Maryout and the warming Mediterranean Sea, the city of Alexandria is approximately 20 km / 12 miles in length and around 3 km / 2 miles in width.
Known for its waterfront setting and appealing coastal scenery, Alexandria's downtown area arcs alongside the beautiful curve of the Eastern Harbour. The beaches in this part of the city and also around the Montazah area can become busy, so many people choose to travel just 1 km / 0.5 miles to the east, where the sands of Mamoura tend to be quieter.
Climate: Alexandria has a Mediterranean climate, with warm humid summers and mild rainy winters. The daytime can be humid in summer, with summer temperatures averaging 31°C (88°F), but evenings are usually cooler and breezy, especially by the Corniche. Winters can get cold, with daytime highs down sometimes to 12°C (53°F), with ocassional rain and sometimes hail. Humidity is high throughout the year. The best time to visit Alexandria is in spring (March-June) and autumn (September-November), since it's at its busiest in summer, when Egyptians flock down to escape the searing heat of Cairo.
How To Travel:Alexandria has two airports in the immediate vicinity and is also within striking distance of Cairo.
