History
Cairo grew up around the Nile and successive capitals; Alexandria was founded by Alexander the Great and later became a Hellenistic intellectual center, once home to the Great Library and Lighthouse.
Conservation
Coastal erosion and urban pressure affect Alexandria’s shoreline sites; responsible tourism — sticking to marked paths and avoiding souvenir trade in protected ruins — helps preserve fragile archaeology.
