Flight to Alexandria |
Arriving into Egypt with a Flight to Alexandria allows you to plan a wonderful itinerary seeing Egypt from north to south and incorporate Egypt's second largest city into your sightseeing. Apart from the city itself, Alexandria is the gateway to Egypt's Western Desert and the battlefields and memorials of WW2.
Flights to Alexandria bring you to the Mediterranean along Egypt's north coast. Alexandria is a city of legend. This is where Euclid pioneered geometry, and, of course, the young Alexander the Great founded the city as his capital in 331 B.C. The new Library of Alexandria is its most interesting symbol of recent renewal. Built near the site of the original Library of Alexandria - perhaps the ancient world's greatest, with an unrivalled collection that included original manuscripts of Euripides, Aeschylus and Sophocles - the Bibliotheca seeks to resurrect that lost monument with shelf space for eight million books and a massive granite wall inscribed with what officials say are characters from all the world's written languages.
Another sign of the city's resurgence is the sumptuous Four Seasons Hotel Alexandria. Opened in July 2007 on the busy Corniche road, it has 9 restaurants, a large infinity pool and 118 plush, modern guest rooms, many facing the Mediterranean.
Flights to Alexandria arrive at Borg Al-Arab Airport, under an hour's drive from downtown Alexandria, which is served by a number of carriers, including British Airways, Lufthansa and Emirates.
