| Summary |
Alexandria ranks as the second most important Egyptian city, the first seaport, the first summer resort, and the second industrial center in Egypt since it accommodates around 36% of the Egyptian industry. The population, estimated at 4 million, is concentrated in the narrow coastal areas. Alexandria is bordered by the Mediterranean to the North. Lake Maryout to the South, Lack Edco and Abu Keer Bay to the East, and to the West, the vast Western Desert. Due to the favorable geographical location, moderate weather, and the existence of some significant historical sites and monuments that date back to the fourth century BC, Alexandria has always been one of the most important tourism spots. And until the late sixties, it was a very distinguished city, as reflected in the European architectural features. Indeed, it was - at that time - one of the cleanest and most beautiful cities in the world.
