Founded by Alexander the Great in 331 BC, Alexandria is the second-largest city in Egypt and the country's former capital. Its location on the Mediterranean Sea makes it the largest seaport in Egypt serving 80% of the country's imports and exports.
After spending time in Cairo and Luxor we were thankful for the cooler temperatures, but not as thrilled with the pounding wind. Nevertheless, the seaside town was beautiful and a welcomed change of scenery. Our group of six was now down to four and it would only be a matter of days before we entered the last country on our trip... Turkey. In the meantime, we enjoyed the relaxing pace of Alexandria and recharged our batteries once again.

Perhaps it was better they had no idea of their fate...
