Two hours north of Cairo the desert ends in Mediterranean light. Alexandria wears its Greco-Roman past casually: a Roman theatre off a shopping street, the eerie tri-level catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, Pompey's Pillar over the Serapeum ruins.
On the corniche, Qaitbay's 15th-century citadel stands on the exact footprint of the Pharos — the ancient lighthouse and Wonder of the World — while the disc of the Bibliotheca Alexandrina revives its famous library. Seafood lunch by the harbour included.
