Recommended Car Classes

Considering the sometimes narrow streets of Alexandria, compact cars are recommended for easier parking and manoeuvring. For those planning a trip further into the desert, SUVs offer a comfortable and reliable option.

Exploring Alexandria's Sights

  • Qaitbay Citadel: Drive to this 15th-century defensive fortress located on the Mediterranean sea coast, which was established on the site of the ancient lighthouse of Alexandria.
  • Montaza Palace: Set in large gardens on the eastern edge of the city, this palace offers breathtaking sea views, making it an unmissable site in Alexandria.
  • Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa: Venture to this historical archaeological site considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages.

Mobility & Parking

Parking in Alexandria can be a bit of a challenge - it is advisable to utilise guarded parking lots where available. The Alexandria pass card could be helpful, offering unlimited parking in designated areas throughout the city.

Driving Routes

Though Alexandria's main sights are well-connected by the city's main roads, one recommended driving route is the coastal road leading from Montaza Palace to Qaitbay Citadel — offering scenic views of the Mediterranean Sea along the way.

Traffic Rules

Traffic rules in Alexandria may feel less regulated compared to British standards, and it's common to see cars and pedestrians sharing road space. It's always important to stay alert and patient while driving.

Neighbourhoods & Beaches

The district of Bahari, characterised by its narrow streets and old buildings, and Mamoura beach, known for its soft sand and clear waters, are among Alexandria's many worthwhile destinations.

Alexandria's Airport, Train Stations & Port

Getting to Alexandria is easy, with Borg El Arab Airport a short drive away. Two main train stations, Alexandria and Sidi Gaber, and the active sea port provide alternative transportation options.

Surrounding Cities and Climate

Temperatures range from 11°C in January to 30°C in August. Excursions to nearby cities such as Rosetta, known for the Rosetta Stone, and El Alamein, a World War II battleground, are highly recommended for history enthusiasts.

Currency & Seasonal Events

The local currency is the Egyptian pound (EGP). Summer festivals, such as the Alexandria International Film Festival and the Summer Festival, bring in domestic and international artists, adding to the city's vibrant atmosphere.

With your car rental, you have the freedom to explore Alexandria on your own terms, uncovering the rich history and culture that this enticing city has to offer. Safe travels!
