From Port Said – Tuesday 13/May
Drive from Port Said to Alexandria the second largest city and the main port of Egypt. Alexandria was built by the Greek architect Dinocrates (332-331 BC) on the site of an old village, Rhakotis, at the orders of Alexander the Great. The city, immortalizing Alexander's name, quickly flourished into a prominent cultural, intellectual, political, and economic metropolis, the remains of which are still evident to this day. It was the renowned capital of the Ptoemises, with numerous monuments. It was the site of the Lighthouse, one of the Seven wonders of the Ancient World, as well as the Great Library. It was along these shores that history took a tragic turn at the time of Cleopatra, Julius Caesar, Mark Antony and Octavian.
