No Experience Required

The morning light on the Mediterranean feels different in Alexandria — cleaner, cooler, with a salt breeze that pushes the city’s layered past into focus. You leave Cairo before dawn in a private, air-conditioned vehicle and watch the Nile Delta flatten out, the highway easing you toward a coastline long traded by pharaohs, Greeks and Ottomans. By midmorning you’re walking stone streets where Roman mosaic fragments meet Ottoman storefronts and sea spray dares you to look farther.
