We had a lovely day with Waleed in Alexandria. Alexandria is a city rich in history and culture and Waleed has a wealth of knowledge about his city. In our day tour we were able to cover all the major sites. We were in Alexandria for 2 nights, but the 1st night was a wash because our flight arrived in Cairo in the afternoon and we ended up arriving in Alexandria in the evening. I recommend 2 full days in Alexandria. Our time in the library didn't allow us to go inside the reading area and our time in St. Mark's Cathedral was very brief. I now have an excuse to go back to Alexandria to spend more time at these sites and to visit my friend Waleed.
