Alexandria is a city well worth touring in Egypt. It’s true there are no pyramids here, but Alexandria is rich in history - it was at one time the capital of Egypt, after all, and the ancient history lover will find some fascinating ruins and artifacts to drool over. The city from which Cleopatra once ruled, and which famous Romans like Julius Caesar and Marc Antony visited, was home to the Great Lighthouse, to a University at which notable scholars of the ancient world worked and taught, and the Library of Alexandria, where thousands of ancient books were held, a vast repository of knowledge in he days of the Ptolemies, the Macedonian dynasty that ruled Egypt from 305 to 30 BCE.
