🇪🇬 Alexandria in a Day? Impossible!

At least 2 days from Cairo—perfect for slow travel (though I’d pick Southeast Asia for long stays 😂). ✅ Least discriminatory stop in Egypt! 🏛️ Must-See Attractions Roman Theater 👍 Don’t miss! Less grand than the Colosseum but fascinating—red-brick baths with intact drainage ("This place must’ve been luxurious!" —Mom). ➕ Villa ruins: Exquisite bird-patterned mosaics + displays of ancient bathtubs (look modern!) and a damaged sphinx. Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa 💯 Criminally underrated! 200 EGP, worth every penny. 3 labyrinthine levels of Egyptian-Roman fusion tombs. Highlights: 📍Main tomb’s god-covered carvings. 📍Hidden side tombs with preserved murals. 📍Sun dials, grape-carved sarcophagi 🍇, and more. Pompey’s Pillar 📍Climb ruins to the lone column + twin sphinxes. 📍Secret spots: Underground library & bull cult sanctuary (follow footprints!). Citadel of Qaitbay 📍Built with stones from the Lighthouse of Alexandria. 📍Best for sea-view window shots (closes 5PM). Bibliotheca Alexandrina Free courtyard for architecture snaps. Skip indoor tickets unless you’re a hardcore bookworm. 🚋 Local Flavors Vintage trams (yellow/blue, run till late). Seaside red tourist bus. Sugarcane juice: 10 EGP (small), 15 EGP (large)—chugged daily! El Selsala Cafe (opposite library): 15 EGP for loungers + epic sunset views. Castle-area fishing boats: Charter one to chase the horizon! 🏠 Stay Arab Hostel: Cozy beyond photos! Kitchen access (even post-checkout), friendly vibes. #EgyptTravel #HiddenGems #Alexandria☕🌅
