Alexandria Hotels - Reviews and Rates

Yesterday on the 28th we drove by mini bus from Cairo to Alexandria, about three hours, four lanes either side. We saw one crash, a bus had rolled. The driving here is crazy, its hard to imagine, they dont give an inch, trust me if you lived here you wouldnt want a flash car, it would be dented within days. When we arrive we went to the museum u...

Alexandria. I didn't get a chance to visit here when I was in Egypt 5 years ago. It sounded exotic. Alexander the Great founded this city, and Cleopatra ruled here. Napolean came for a visit, and even a bunch of Allied Forces during WW1 popped in. Cameron and I were looking forward to our long weekend in Alexandria even more now, after having sp...

In the morning we got up early, packed and and left our room. We had decided to take a taxi back to Cairo, as Sayed at the front desk has found us a pretty good deal. So at 8:45 AM we packed into our taxi, literally. We stopped at the town of Ras Sudr, which didn't really have much in the way of tourist goods, but we managed to find a few souven...

World Cruise Monday, April 9, 2007 Alexandria, Egypt Excursion: Highlights of Alexandria, 7 hours, $100 each Captain Dag decided to change our itinerary before we got to Cairo so we travelled overland by coach, on better roads, from Cairo to Alexandria. We actually arrived in Alexandria (by bus) the evening before (April 8). The overland excursi...

Today we visited Alexandria. Were advised by Longchamps reception to allow an hour for our journey to Mindan Ramses station in case of bad traffic. We made it in plenty of time and the journey cost LE10. We had booked train tickets before leaving the UK which cost us GBP£68 (for Alexandria return and Luxor to Aswan first class). Tourists we were...

After a 2 hour train ride to Alexandria, we head to Sidi Gaber bus station to begin the second half of our long journey today. Although we only spend about an hour in Alexandria, we visited before about a month or so ago. Lauras mum was with us that time as well. We spent a whole day up there visiting its few historical sites, Fort Qaitby and wh...

Sorry for the lapse in blogs, but I've been on the road with no access to internet. I'm actually back in Cairo now, but am going to play catch-up with all of my travels and experiences. So if you're getting a billion emails from me, they are each a new entry. The road to Alexandria was just like any road you might see in America, with a few exce...

So while everyone else was dodging bombs in Israel and Egypt, I was spending a couple days in Alexandria with my roommate Christianna. We took the train there. My first train trips was a lot of fun. It costs about 4 dollars to go two and half hours in first class. On the train, Christianna started making faces at the little boy in front of us. H...

Christmas Eve Can't remember much that happened yesterday evening. We tried to find some bars after we'd done our emailing and taking that photo of us, but everywhere was closed which was a pain. All the bars are owned by Coptic Christians, and they'd closed up for Christmas. Bah. And I thought the coptics didn't celebrate until January the 6th,...
