Impressive blue sunny day and not exhausting road. - I had some doubts before going to Alexandria from Cairo , because of long way from one city to another. But Alexandria was really interesting with all it's historical attractions and beautiful skyline of the embankment. Our guide Mohammed Sabagh showed us the best points and created good mood.
