The Royal Library Of Alexandria
The Royal Library of Alexandria on the seafront is home to three museums, four art galleries and a planetarium. After your visit, stroll along to the Citadel of Qaitbay, a 15th-century fortress and naval museum. Then wander along the 10 miles of the Corniche, where you'll find shops, cafés, restaurants, and coffee houses.
Shopping
Find everything from jewellery to local produce in the main souq, which stretches through the backstreets from Midan Tahir in the city centre. Enjoy the air-conditioned convenience of the City Centre Alexandria shopping mall. This huge mega mall is one of the largest in the area and is home to lots of your favourite international and Arabic brands.
For a more relaxed shopping expedition, head to the souqs and bazaars, where you'll be able to haggle for souvenirs and trinkets, or search out the boutiques in the back streets for an authentic Alexandrian experience.
