Mediterranean Twilight Magic | A Day Trip Along Egypt's Alexandria Coa

My most chill day in Egypt—packed with beauty, history, and flavors. As the country’s second-largest city, Alexandria dazzles with its layered past (Pharaonic + Islamic eras), crumbling grandeur, and divine seafood. 📍 Pro tip: Book a round-trip Cairo-Alexandria car via inDrive for stress-free exploring. 🌟 Highlights Loved 🏰 Citadel of Qaitbay (Ancient Lighthouse Site) "I could stare at these windows all day!" • Built on Pharos Island, the original 135m-tall lighthouse (a Wonder of the Ancient World) was destroyed by earthquakes. • The fortress ruins and sea views are next-level photogenic. 🌳 Montaza Palace Gardens • A former royal summer retreat (exterior only). • Opposite the palace, the sunset beach draws crowds—prime for golden-hour snaps. 🍽️ Seafood Lunch / Café by the Port • Dined with Mediterranean vistas—just pick the busiest spot along the coast! 🍦 Century-Old Gelato Shop • Went for a 4-flavor cup—fresh fruit bliss! A sweet pitstop if nearby. Why it shines: Where history melts into sea salt and slow living. #SeekTheMediterranean #OffbeatTravel #EgyptDiaries #AlexandriaVibes
