Alexandria is a city founded by Alexander the Great, lorded over by Queen Cleopatra, appealed to writers and poets, and has endured \u2013 if not fostered \u2013 ancient kingdoms. Shorn of her glorious past, \u2018The Pearl of the Mediterranean,\u2019 rose from the ashes to reclaim its mantle. Today, even a fleeting glimpse of this ancient city through its dusty cosmopolitan crust appears to reprise the eminence of the Roman and Byzantine eras. With an ambiance that is more Mediterranean than Middle Eastern, Alexandria is like a fruit that constantly ripens.<\/p>\n

It sits on the southern coast of the Mediterranean Sea in the north central Egypt. It is about 140 miles (225 km) northwest of Egypt\u2019s capital \u2013 Cairo.<\/p>\n
