After getting settled at your accommodation of choice, you'll likely want to venture out and explore. If you can't wait to check out the beaches, head to Mamoura Beach or Montazah Beach for a relaxing day by the water. Experience the area's historical sites and shopping, and make time for local attractions such as Pompey's Pillar and Qaitbay Fortress. For more things to see and do, consider visiting Alexandria National Museum or Bibliotheca Alexandrina.
