Alexandria - In The Know

About Alexandria

Alexandria is a relaxed Mediterranean city with a fascinating mix of history, sea views and everyday Egyptian life. Stretching along Egypt’s northern coastline, the city is known for its waterfront Corniche, historic landmarks, seafood restaurants and cultural heritage. Halal food is widely available throughout Alexandria, while mosques and prayer facilities can be found across the city, making it an easy and comfortable destination for Muslim travellers.

A halal-friendly holiday in Alexandria offers a slower pace than Cairo while still providing plenty to see and do. Walk along the Corniche, visit the impressive Bibliotheca Alexandrina, explore the Citadel of Qaitbay or discover the city’s historic mosques and old neighbourhoods. Fresh seafood is a highlight, alongside classic Egyptian dishes such as kofta, grilled meats, ful and koshari. With its coastal setting, rich history and welcoming atmosphere, Alexandria is a great choice for travellers wanting culture, food and time by the sea.
