Alexandria
Alexandria was founded by Alexander the Great in 332 BC and was the capital of Egypt for more than 300 years. For those guests that have been on our Old Cairo and the National Museum of Egyptian Civilisation, this tour is inextricably linked with both.
When Alexandria fell to the Arbs in 641 AD it was felt that it would be better to have the Egyptian capital located inland at Fustat. The reasoning was that it would be easier to defend the capital against the Roman Navy than being located, as Alexandria was, on the coast.
