Alexandria

Alexandria is in a bid to lure visitors to its former glories

Alexandria, Egypt  - Just mention Alexandria and the name city rekindles the Pharoh era when the city was the location of a lighthouse that was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

The Library of Alexandria was the biggest at that time, but what of modern Alexandria? Is there more to this city than its famous name?

Authorities in Egypt's second largest city believe so and are planning to capitalise on its magnificent past.
