About Alexandria for Solo Travelers
Cleopatra's city on the Mediterranean — a faded but fascinating port with Greek, Roman, and Arab layers that solo travelers peel back on long walks along the Corniche.
Solo Travel Tips· Confident Solo
Alexandria feels more Mediterranean than Egyptian — the Corniche waterfront is great for solo strolling, the Bibliotheca Alexandrina is world-class, and the city's cosmopolitan history makes it distinctive. Street harassment is less intense than Cairo. The seafood restaurants along the fish market are excellent for solo dining. Easy day trip from Cairo by train.
