Interactive Alexandria Map
Alexandria is the second largest city in Egypt, with a population of approximately 4 million. The city is located 200 km north of Cairo and stretches 20 km along the Mediterranean Sea in a narrow stripe of a few kilometres.
The harbour is the most important in Egypt, with, among other things, the export of crude oil and cotton. The presence of natural gas in the surrounding area, and the making of an oil pipeline from Suez, have made the city an important industrial centre. Besides a refinery and the petrochemical industry, the city houses iron and steel mills, car factories and a textile industry.

Nowadays the glorious past of the city of Alexandria is hard to spot. However the newly-opened Library of Alexandria which covers all sciences will hopefully help re-establish the old reputation of the city as the stronghold of wisdom.
Because of a very pleasant climate, wonderful beaches, and hotels up to 2 million Egyptians choose to spend their summer in the city.
