An Ancient Egyptian City Stays Vibrant.

Travel writer Lucas Peterson of The New York Times, highlights his travel through more personal experience, sharing his cultural and historical experiences, alongside two friends.

“Alexandria, which has reinvented itself frequently over the centuries, still delights — and provides great deals for travellers, too.”

The feature certainly shows the rich, ancient history of the city, introducing us to the destruction of the Library of Alexandria to the rise of Bibliotheca Alexandrina two millenniums later. But he also continues to mention some of Alexandria’s best spots from the Bibliotheca Alexandrina to the Citadel of Qaitbay, as well as the more modern parts of the city.“Not all of Alexandria’s historical treasures are quite so old.” “Uber is plentiful and cheap.”

This feature reflects Alexandria’s rich history and ancient culture. “Alexandria draws from a deep cultural well, which is apparent at nearly every turn.” Alexandria is most definitely a destination for an ancient adventure.
