Alexandria works as a Mediterranean reset after temple days: sea air, library light, and a long lunch that does not need a ticket.
A coastal day, not a scorecard
Walk the Corniche, visit the library if open, and keep the afternoon culinary and calm. The point is atmosphere.
- Corniche light and breeze
- Library exterior / visit
- Seafood lunch without rushing
A day trip from Cairo can be enough. An overnight feels even softer if your itinerary allows.
