Relax at Classic Hotel

Relax for a minute at the hotel while enjoying the fresh breeze that comes in through the high window; our room has three beds, and next to us there are even five bedrooms for those of you who desire a family reunion; it appears that this Nile Exlisuor Hotel is recommended.

Sightseeing City, Café, Restaurant at Alexandria

Seeing the city atmosphere from the window make us immediately rushed down to the main lobby and can’t wait to begin the journey. We saw traditional cafes lined up and local people enjoying their coffee. Alexandria's bakery business intrigued me because there are different breads from Cairo and very interesting to see new things and finally can see a Mediterranean Sea 

Amr Diab's song is often played in shops under a classic building with a unique and beautiful storefront. We started to mingle with the locals and hunt for trams because we really wanted to experience riding these means of transportation. The young people also gathered at the fast food restaurant which was contrasted for the classic and modern.

We decided to go to a restaurant called Kebda El Falah and want try this legend restaurant. a lot of people who came to this place, we were lucky to get a seat. 

We are very curious what makes this restaurant special. Well the service is quite fast as not long after we were served a large tray of Fino bread (a soft texture long baguette shaped Egypt Bread) with kebda or liver completed with lime and green chili also started to eat one by one until finish all as it it tasted delicious because the kebda/liver melted in the mouth with light spices tasted and smell was very tasty. The food finally answer my curiosity

Buildings with various architectural styles due to historical factors are able to make you continue to walk along it and if your feet feel tired there are lots of cafes lined up in front of the beach and at least you have to be prepared for EGP 55 for the coffee with beach view and enjoy the sea breeze also sunset, It was a precious moment.

A funny story when we decided return to our hotel as we got lost in the middle of nowhere but we were happy because there were still many other beautiful buildings that we found. Really like a trip to find treasure

At night, even though you can't see the blue beauty of the Mediterranean Sea. The city view with dim yellow lights illuminates beautiful buildings and cafe activities which are also designed to be attractive and classic. Alexandria have lots of unique restaurant from Egyptian food until Greek restaurants and options to explore We really wanted to go to a sea food restaurant but unfortunately after 9 pm we couldn't eat there so finally we ate at the Koshari restaurant. Koshari is Egypt's popular street cuisine. A classic Egyptian staple made of pasta, grains, and brown lentils, and then topped with a tangy tomato sauce, garlic vinegar, chickpeas, and crispy fried onions. The restaurant very unique because they serve it like serving steak.

A little story about people of Alexandria that kind, friendly and funny. Me and husband who don't know the way are often guided by local people for example we are looking for a seafood restaurant, they will direct us

"yes, go straight to the T-junction, turn right and let your nose lead you *follow the smell of seafood" we really-really did it and it was very fun

Another story when we asked someone about another restaurant to people at the street and he didn't know but he do some effort to help with asked the fruit seller and the fruit seller directed the route and said if the restaurant was closed then you can come back here and eat this delicious fruit.

You could say that Alexandria at night is very romantic with yellow lights illuminating the road and the hidden gem building has quite romantic vibes

Sailing with Boat surround of Qaitbay Fort Sea and See Beautiful Beach at Stanley Bridge

At Beautiful morning, our energy ready to explore the city and of course we want to go to the beach which is not far from our hotel then we plan to go to Qaitbay Fort after. There is lot of Public transportation options from taxis, minibuses and buses. We recorded the beautiful journey and the driver was kind enough to drive carefully and the passengers got off and took a funny pose for the camera, really relaxing atmosphere.

Arriving at Qaitbay unfortunately it was still closed because we arrived too early but the local fisherman offered us to take a trip with his boat and it was really amazing view to see the beauty of Qaitbay from the middle of the Mediterranean sea. You have to try it!

After being satisfied on board our ship, we intend to have a typical delicious Egypt breakfast Foul and Tomiya make you full of energy all day long, very suitable for those of us who need to tour around the city but have to return to Cairo on the same day.

We continued our journey to the legend library but unfortunately it was the first day of school so there were a lot of students queuing to enter and we decided to just take a walk. In the same place there is also a university and our new student admissions who wear backpacks look a stark contrast to the students.

We continued our journey to Stanley Bridge using the city bus and we arrived in front of the iconic Alexandria beach. You can enter the beach by paying a pocket-friendly ticket and don't worry because the facilities are very complete. A fun option is to take a romantic walk by the beach, let the sea water touch your skin. Make sure to obey the rules and safety warnings when you decided to swim. We walked the Stanley Bridge and the view of the beach was so pleasing to the eye

Finally, we decided to get late lunch at the mall which is near the bridge and there is a food court at basement floor with lots of food choices and I order Asian food plus after eat we go around the mall before coming back to Cairo and at the top of Mall we found another unique restaurants that you can visit

Alexandria Short Trip is Worth it?

Finally time to go back to Cairo.  What a pleasant journey and was sad to leave Alexandria as still lot of place we need to explore and until this day i still miss the Bride of the Mediterranean which is able to recharge positive energy and make you falling in love with beauty and its mesmerizing mystery. Will be back for sure =)
