        The largest city on the Mediterranean Sea and the second-largest city in Egypt, Alexandria is a stunning holiday hotspot overflowing with incredible culture and a rich ancient history worth exploring when you arrive. A settlement founded by Alexander the Great in 331 BC and somewhere now known as the “Pearl of the Mediterranean”, this city is known for being home to several ancient wonders – the Lighthouse of Alexandria and Great Library of Alexandria being among the most famous. An important intellectual and cultural centre throughout the Hellenistic age (which starts around 400 BC) to the start of the Middle Ages in the 8th century, the sightseeing experiences in Alexandria are among the most rewarding in the world. However, that’s far from the only thing to look forward to when it comes to visiting Alexandria via cruise; this city is home to some sensational seafood cuisine, boutique shopping experiences, and breathtaking beaches. You’ll have over 30 to choose from in Alexandria alone! So, whether you’re looking to soak up the sunshine on a public beach, or enjoy the warm weather with a table and a parasol umbrella on a more relaxed touristic beach, you’ll have plenty of options when you arrive.

Great experience on back to back cruise on a lovely mid-sized ship - Rhapsody of Seas, sailing from Barbados to Haifa. Only disappointing aspect was boarding and disembarking issues at Barbados, Miami and Haifa which could have been greatly improved from chaos experienced.
