Alexandria

Alexandria, Egypt’s second-largest city, is a vibrant Mediterranean port with a rich and layered history. Founded by Alexander the Great in 331 BC, it was once a global center for learning and commerce, home to the famed Library and Lighthouse of Alexandria. Today, it’s a major industrial and financial hub, offering a unique blend of ancient heritage and modern Egyptian life.

Expect a cosmopolitan atmosphere with a slower pace than Cairo. Alexandria boasts a thriving arts scene – hosting the annual Mediterranean Film Festival and numerous museums – alongside a busy port and a growing digital community. With a population of over 5.3 million, it’s a large city, but retains a distinct coastal vibe, offering a compelling alternative for digital nomads seeking a culturally immersive experience.
