The City of Alexandria

One of my favorite places in the world is certainly Alexandria, Egypt's largest seaport. To me the second largest city in Egypt, located directly on the Mediterranean coast, is one of the most stunning as well as welcoming places I have ever been to. Also known as "“The Pearl of the Mediterranean”, it is well-known for its cultural heritage, its beautiful beaches and its convivial and warm atmosphere-undoubtedly a city steeped in history, from its famous admirable library and the lighthouse of the pharos to the marvelous monuments and its numerous museums. However, apart from all the great sights you can see and the countless summer resorts you can visit to spend some time just lazing around, I think there is one important thing that makes this city so unique: the people. Austria’s social life is nowhere near as lively as it is in Egypt. No matter what time of the day it is in Alexandria, you will always find cheerful people, for instance taking a walk along the stunning bay or sitting in one of the lovely cafes, laughing and enjoying themselves, regardless of the country’s political situation or their own personal circumstances. They are simple people, yet they give the city life and make tourists feel welcomed, which is why this city is such a special place. I really miss it and especially my family and friends there and looking forward to visiting this great city soon. :)
