Cairo
Day 7-8
Day 7: After breakfast, we will go to see Alexandria today. We will examine what was done instead of the Alexandria Lighthouse, one of the 7 wonders of the world. I can say that this is a different face of Egypt. More tidy and cleaner than Cairo. Today, there is the Kayet Bay Fortress, which was built on the place of the lighthouse, which is a remnant of the Mamluks. We will visit this castle and the newly built Alexandria Library instead of the ancient library. We will end the day in Alexandria and go to the airport in the evening and make our flight to home. Even though I had been to Egypt and seen it, I was excited again when I was writing it again. You will experience the same excitement when you see it with your own eyes.
