Alexandria

- Overlooking the Mediterranean from the Sheraton Hotel. We scored big time on this accommodation.
The Roman Theatre with the "Bath houses" in the background. This sight was found by accident and covered with a huge mound of dirt. The seats are marble and red granite but the roof has been destroyed. It was a neat place to walk around the ruins for a few hours.


Fort of Qaitbay ( Citadel) was built in 1477 A.D. by Sultan Qaitbay. It was the sight of a ancient lighthouse and constructed with 3 floors and a mosque in the centre.

Alexandria Museum is a beautiful Italian building in the middle of the city. This is an anthropoid coffin decorated with scenes from the Book of the Dead....a Real MUMMY..........

The New Library was dedicated in 2002 and is the most interesting architecture in Alexandria. The building overlooks the sea with a water feature in the front. Sitting next to one of the universities, it is one of the busiest areas in the city....Fabulous interior !

A sea port ....... Its a protected harbour for many fishing and tourist boats. Lots to see and do in this area. Cappuccinos are great.
