Overview
The pearl of the Mediterranean has an atmosphere that makes it more in keeping with its neighbors to the north than its neighbors in the Middle East. It is the city of Alexandria, which was founded by Alexander the Great in 331 BC. It includes the Pharos Lighthouse (Alexandria), which is considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World and was the site of a violent romantic love story that arose between Antony and Cleopatra. Currently, Alexandria includes wonderful landmarks that bear witness to the great Greek history, in addition to beautiful mosques, a group of casinos extending along the Corniche, some picturesque parks, and modern and old hotels. (Editor's Note: Our list was compiled before political unrest prompted many countries to issue travel warnings for Egypt. If you are currently planning a trip to Egypt, please consider the risks and heed government travel advisories.)Sights
