Alexandria is Egypt’s principal seaport and its second-largest city, stretching along the country’s northern coast at the western edge of the Nile River Delta. It is also the Mediterranean coast’s largest city, with a history reaching back to its founding by Alexander the Great in 331 BC. In antiquity, Alexandria ranked among the world’s most important cities and became a major centre for science, culture and scholarship.
