Iskandariya (talaffuz qilinadi) al-ig-ZAN-dree-uh; Arabcha: إlإskكndryة / سskndryةal-Iskandariya / Eskendereyya) Misrikkinchi yirik shahar (2018 yilda 5,2 million kishi), uning eng yirik dengiz porti va mamlakatning O'rta dengizga ochilgan oynasi. Shahar o'zining sobiq ulug'vor kosmopolit qiyofasining so'ngan soyasidir, ammo o'zining ko'plab madaniy diqqatga sazovor joylari va o'tmishining hanuzgacha ko'zga tashlanadigan qarashlari uchun hali ham tashrif buyurishga arziydi.

Tarix

Dunyoda ozgina shaharlarning tarixi Aleksandriya kabi boydir; juda kam tarixiy voqealar va afsonalarga guvoh bo'lgan bir nechta shahar. Tomonidan tashkil etilgan Buyuk Aleksandr (Iskandar al-AkbarMiloddan avvalgi 331 yilda Iskandariya Yunonistonning poytaxtiga aylandi.Rim Misr; uning madaniyati mayoqi maqomi afsonaviy dengiz chiroqlari bo'lgan Firos tomonidan ramziy ma'noga ega.

Bu erda uzoq vaqt Rhakotis deb nomlangan baliqchi qishlog'i bo'lgan, ammo Aleksandr buning uchun katta rejalar tuzgan. Uning strategik qiymati aniq edi: u ajoyib tabiiy portga, quruqlik hujumining oldini olish uchun lagunaga, unumdor ichki hududga va Nil va Qizil dengiz va Arabistonga quruqlikdan o'tadigan savdo yo'llarini nazorat qilish imkoniyatiga ega edi. Ammo portga yaqinlashish juda hiyla-nayrang edi: qirg'oq bo'yidagi va qirg'oqdagi orollar past va belgisiz edi, shuning uchun dengizchilar bemalol noto'g'ri kanalni olishlari va qirg'oqlarda halok bo'lishlari mumkin edi. Ularni boshqarish uchun, Aleksandrning vorislari Ptolemey I va II qurilgan dengiz chiroqi yaqinidagi Firos orolida. Uning bo'yi 100 m dan sal balandroq bo'lgan, shuning uchun faqat Buyuk Piramidalar balandroq bo'lgan. Uning ustidagi bronza oynada kunduzi quyosh nuri, kechasi esa yog'ga botgan qo'y junlari alangasi aks etgan. Bu biri edi Qadimgi dunyoning etti mo''jizasiva orolning nomi "Pharos" keyingi barcha dengiz chiroqlariga taalluqli bo'lib, frantsuz tilida "fares" kabi zamonaviy so'zlarni tug'dirdi.

Farsni materik bilan bog'lash uchun uzunligini 1 km dan ortiq bo'lgan iskala qurib, buloqni sharqiy va g'arbiy portga ajratdi. Daryo bo'yida loy va poligon qurilgan, shuning uchun u hozirgi Anfushi tumani yarim oroliga qadar kengaygan. Mayoq 956, 1303 va 1323 yillarda sodir bo'lgan zilzilalardan jiddiy zarar ko'rgan, keyin yaroqsiz holga kelib qolgan. 1480 yilda Sulton Qaitbey xaroba toshdan bu erda o'zining qal'asini qurish uchun foydalangan. Qolganlarini qirg'oq eroziyasi yeb, dengiz tubida yotibdi. Ammo qadimiy tavsiflar, zamonaviy dengiz arxeologiyasi va sun'iy yo'ldosh orqali tasvirlashning kombinatsiyasi bizga bu haqda batafsil tasavvur beradi.

Ptolemey I va II davridagi Iskandariya nafaqat savdo orqali, balki bilim iqtisodiyoti sifatida gullab-yashnagan. Ular qo'llaridan kelgan barcha qo'lyozmalarni sotib olishga va tushunishga kirishdilar. Kelayotgan kemalar tintuv qilindi va qo'lyozmalar olib qo'yildi va papirusga ko'chirildi. Katta Iskandariya kutubxonasi matnlar tarjima qilingan, kataloglangan va o'rganilgan. Olimlar, faylasuflar va olimlar ushbu matnlar ustida ishlash va yangi materiallar yaratish uchun yig'ildilar. Ularning ijodiy natijalariga faqat bitta misol Septuagintibroniycha muqaddas matnlarning birinchi yunoncha tarjimasi bo'lib, Xristian Muqaddas Kitobining Eski Ahdiga aylandi.

Savdo va bilim Iskandariyani har qanday joyda eng katta yahudiy aholisi va ellinizm madaniyatlari bilan kosmopolit qildi. U o'z ahamiyatini saqlab qoldi va Misrning poytaxti bo'lib, hokimiyat boshqa joyga o'zgarib turdi: Rimning ko'tarilishi va pasayishi, Vizantiyaning ko'tarilishi va Forsning o'sishi. Ammo shahar tabiiy ofatlarga (masalan, 365 yilgi tsunami) va bir qator urushlarga (xususan Rimga qarshi) duch keldi va kutubxona vayron bo'ldi. Milodiy 641 yilda arablar Misrni zabt etganda, hozirda Fustatda janubda yangi poytaxtga asos solishdi Qohira. Siyosiy, iqtisodiy va intellektual jihatdan Iskandariya endi yashash joyi emas edi.

Iskandariya savdo porti sifatida omon qoldi; Marko Polo uni 1300 atrofida dunyoning eng gavjum ikkita portidan biri deb ta'riflagan Quanzhou. Biroq, uning strategik joylashuvi Misrga boradigan har bir qo'shin o'tib ketishini anglatar edi: 1798 yilda Napoleon qo'shinlari shaharga bostirib kirgan, ammo inglizlar uni Iskandariyani qamal qilish 1801 yilda. Muhammad Ali boshchiligidagi misrliklar shaharni o'z nazorati ostiga olishdi va uni qayta qurishdi, ammo 1881 yildagi Orabi qo'zg'oloni va shahardagi evropaliklarni qirg'in qilish inglizlarni uch kunlik zarbalar bilan isyonchilarni bolg'a qilishga majbur qildi. Iskandariya bombardimi, shahar markazining katta qismini vayronalarga aylantirish.

Iskandariya yana bir bor kuldan ko'tarildi. Uning kosmopolit va dekadent turmush tarzi Ikkinchi Jahon urushi oldidan va uning davridan buyuk shoirni dunyoga keltirdi. Konstantin P. Kavafi, va Lorens Dyurrellda yozilgan Iskandariya kvarteti va E.M.Forsterning bir qator asarlari, shu jumladan Iskandariya: tarix va qo'llanma (1922), ba'zilar tomonidan yozilgan eng yaxshi sayohat qo'llanmasi deb ta'riflangan.

Shunga qaramay, bu dunyo ham 50-yillarda Misrning yangi ashaddiy millatchi lideri Gamal Abdel Noser iqtisodiyotning katta qismini milliylashtirganda va chet elliklarga kompaniyalarga egalik qilish yoki ularni yuritishni taqiqlab qo'yganida, shu jumladan, o'n minglab chet elliklarni mamlakatdan tashqariga chiqarishga majbur qilganida, bu dahshatli zarba bo'ldi. deyarli barcha Iskandariyaning bir paytlar 150 ming kishilik yunon jamoasi. Shunday qilib Iskandariya kosmopolit shahar bo'lishni to'xtatdi.

Hozirgi Iskandariya - bu 5 million aholisini ushlab turuvchi chaqiriq kam qavatli va burbs bilan bir necha chaqirim dengiz bo'yidagi changli shahar, ammo Misrning etakchi porti biznesni g'uvullamoqda va yozgi sayyohlar sayohlarni jalb qilishda davom etmoqda. Shaharning katta qismi katta ta'mirga muhtoj bo'lsa-da, uning tarixi hali ham ravshan: frantsuzcha uslubdagi bog'lar va vaqti-vaqti bilan frantsuzcha ko'cha belgisi Napoleon merosi sifatida saqlanib qoladi va qolgan bir necha yunon restoran va kafelari hali ham yaxshi ish qilmoqda savdo.

Iqlim

Iskandariya issiq cho'l iqlimiga ega (BWh), lekin dengiz shamoli katta ta'sirga ega, yozi issiq va nam yozi, qishi o'rtacha o'rtacha nam bo'lgan. Kunduzi yozda nam bo'lishi mumkin, yozning harorati o'rtacha 31 ° C (88 ° F), lekin kechqurun odatda salqin va salqin bo'ladi, ayniqsa Korniş. Qish sovuqlashishi mumkin, kunduzi yuqori harorat ba'zan 12 ° C (53 ° F) gacha pasayadi, vaqti-vaqti bilan yomg'ir va ba'zan do'l yog'ishi mumkin. Yil davomida namlik yuqori bo'ladi. Iskandariyaga tashrif buyurish uchun eng yaxshi vaqt bahor (mart-iyun) va kuzda (sentyabr-noyabr), chunki u yozning eng qizg'in paytida, Misrliklar Qohiraning jaziramasidan qutulish uchun pastga tushganda.

Yo'nalish

Iskandariya - botqoq delta va dengiz o'rtasida qisilib qolgan uzun ingichka shahar. Uning Corniche sharqiy-g'arbiy arteriyasi taxminan 30 km.ga siljiydi. Ammo tashrif buyuruvchining afzalligi shundaki, barcha transport ushbu yo'lak bo'ylab olib tashlanadi, shuning uchun siz taksi, avtobus yoki mikroavtobus ketishingiz uchun bir daqiqadan ko'proq kutishingiz shart emas. Tramvay liniyasi ichkaridan bir-ikki blokga parallel harakatlanadi.

G'arbiy uchida xaroba bo'lgan qadimgi dengiz chiroqlari yoki Fir'avn yaqinida (va undan) qurilgan Qaitbey qal'asi joylashgan. Keyin Corniche sharqiy port atrofida, Anfushi orqasida er tili bilan, Saad Zaghulul atrofidagi markaziy mehmonxona hududiga qarab yuradi; keyin portning sharqiy uchidan yangi kutubxonaning qarshisidagi iskala tomon o'tib ketadi. Deyarli barcha diqqatga sazovor joylar va turar joylar va restoranlarning asosiy qismi ushbu tirbandlik bo'ylab 5-6 km uzunlikdagi yoki yaqin atrofda joylashgan. Ammo Kornişni sharqqa va Rushdi, San-Stefano va Mandaraning qirg'oq bo'yidagi tumanlari bo'ylab aylantiradi. Montazahning shafqatsiz mehmonxonalari - bu Aboukirga tatuirovka, burbs va lentalarni ishlab chiqish davom etadigan yorqin joy.

Chiqinglar

Iskandariyaga samolyotda, poyezdda yoki yo'lda osongina etib boriladi.

Samolyotda

Iskandariyaga uchadigan barcha reyslar shahar markazidan 45 km janubi-g'arbda joylashgan Borg el Arab aeroportidan foydalaniladi. Har kuni Istanbul, Saudiya Arabistoni va Fors ko'rfazi davlatlariga to'g'ridan-to'g'ri xalqaro reyslar mavjud. Qohiraga kuniga bir nechta reyslar mavjud, bu juda yaqin, agar siz boshqa reysga ulansangiz, parvoz mantiqan. Iskandariya har kuni Luksor, Xurgada va Sharm ash-Shayxga to'g'ridan-to'g'ri ichki reyslarni amalga oshiradi. Egyptair bu erda asosiy operator hisoblanadi.

• 30.91777829.6963891 Borg el Arab aeroporti (HBE ^IATA). Kichkina, ammo zamonaviy aeroport, hozirda yo'lovchilar soni kamligi uchun etarli. Kafe va toza hojatxonalar va bu hammasi haqida. (yangilangan Yanvar 2018)

Borg el Arab aeroportiga shahar markazidan (va Qohiradan to'g'ridan-to'g'ri) olib boriladigan barcha avtobus qatnovlari o'qqa tutilgan. Siz trafikka qarab bir soatdan 90 minutgacha davom etadigan taksida borishingiz kerak: kamida LE250 ni hisoblang, chunki jamoat transportida raqobat yo'q (oktyabr 2018).

• 31.18388929.9488892 El Nouzha aeroporti (HAMMA ^IATA) (Shahardan 8 km (5,0 milya) janubi-sharqda.). Ilgari bu aeroport asosiy aeroport bo'lgan, ammo noma'lum vaqtga yopilgan - go'yo ta'mirlash uchun, lekin hech qanday ish olib borilmayapti. Bu erga parvozlarga bo'lgan talab tubdan yaxshilanmasa, qayta ochilishi ehtimoldan yiroq emas. (yangilangan Yanvar 2018)

Poyezdda

Poezd - shahar o'rtasida shahar o'rtasida sayohat qilishning eng yaxshi usuli Qohira va Aleks, kun davomida 30 ga yaqin xizmat bilan. Ulardan eng yaxshisi - tinimsiz ishlaydigan va 2 soat 40 minut davom etadigan "Maxsus" narsalar; deyarli "Express" xizmatlari deyarli 3 soat davom etadi. Ushbu poezdlar toza va qulay, konditsioner va atıştırmalıklar mavjud. Bir tomonlama AC1 chiptalarining narxi LE51 (oktyabr 2018). Tezyurar poyezdlar harakatlanuvchi tarkibiga qarab ba'zan ularni ispan, frantsuz yoki turbo deb ham atashadi. Qarang "Misr # aylanib chiqing poezdda "chiptalarni qanday sotib olish kerak. Onlayn, oldindan ENR temir yo'l kompaniyasidan to'g'ridan-to'g'ri, eng yaxshisi.

Qohiradan poyezdlarning barchasi jo'nab ketadi Ramses stantsiyasi. Aleksda ular shahar markaziga etib kelishadi 31.19298429.9056693 Misr stantsiyasi, taksilar va mikroavtobuslar kutayotgan joyda yoki shimoldan 15 daqiqali yurish sizni Nabi Daniel ko'chasi orqali Corniche tomon olib boradi (ikkinchisi ko'cha bozorlari va politsiya to'siqlari bilan tartibsiz, shuning uchun taksilar parallel Saad Zaghlool ko'chasidan foydalanadilar).

Ammo sizning "to'xtovsiz" poezdingiz kelganda va hamma yig'ilib ketgach, ketishdan oldin atrofdan so'rang. Balki siz 3 km sharqda to'xtagan bo'lishingiz mumkin 31.21895329.9426264 Sidi Gaber stantsiyasi Mushir Ahmad Ismoil ko'chasi boshidagi Abu Qir ko'chasida, bu erdan faqat San-Stefano kabi sharqiy tumanga borganingizda tushing. Aks holda qattiq o'tiring va bir necha daqiqada Misr stantsiyasida poyezd g'ildirakda to'xtaydi.

Aleksdan poezdlar Mersa Matruh va delta shaharchalarga ham qatnaydilar. Bu "oddiy" poezdlar, ularni Internet orqali bron qilib bo'lmaydi, shuning uchun chiptani bekatdan sotib oling. Ba'zi bir poezdlar to'g'ridan-to'g'ri Qohira orqali Luksorga qatnaydilar, ammo bular ham sekin "oddiy" poyezdlardir, va siz Qaxirada maxsus yoki ekspressda ketishingiz yaxshiroq bo'ladi.

Avtobusda

Bir nechta avtobus kompaniyalari Iskandariyaga juda arzon narxlarda avtobus qatnovini taklif qilishadi: LE20-35. Avtobuslar konditsioner va styuardessa tramvay xizmati bilan to'liq ta'minlangan. Kompaniyalar orasida Golden Arrow, West Delta, Super Jet, Pullman va El Gouna mavjud. Har bir kompaniyada boshqasiga ish vaqti turlicha, ammo Qohira va Iskandariya o'rtasida deyarli har soatda erta tongdan yarim tungacha sayohatlar mavjud.

Avtobuslar juda qulay bo'lsa-da, Qohiradan Iskandariyaga (va aksincha) boradigan sayohatning davomiyligi sizning kutib olish / tushirish punktingizga bog'liq bo'ladi. Aksariyat avtobuslar Olmaza avtovokzalidan boshlanadi Heliopolis va to'xtab turing Midan Tahrir va Giza nihoyat Iskandariyaga yo'l olishdan oldin; agar siz Heliopolisdan qo'shiling, o'rtacha 2-3 emas, balki 4-5 soatlik sayohat kuting.

Iskandariya ichida bir qator avtobuslarni olib ketish / tushirish punktlari mavjud. Ular odatda yoki Gedid stantsiya (bundan mustasno El-Gouna, ishlatadigan Sidi Gaber stantsiya), bu Iskandariya shahridan bir oz uzoqroq, shuning uchun u LE10 taksi minishidan oshmasligi kerak, maksimal LE15. Avtobusdan tashqarida sizga yaqinlashadigan odam bilan taksida yurmang. Vokzal tashqarisida piyoda yuring va agar kerak bo'lsa, u erda taksi ushlang. Dan avtobus ham bor Gedid ga Sidi Gaberva Sidi Gaber pul tejashni istasangiz, shaharning aksariyat qismlariga mikroavtobus yoki tramvay orqali borish mumkin. Avtobusning narxi sizni yarim funtga etkazadi.

Mashinada

Qohiradan Iskandariyaga mashinada sayohat qilishda ikkita variant mavjud. Har qanday marshrutdan foydalanib, sayohat tezligi va atrofdagi tirbandlikka qarab odatda 3 soat davom etadi.

• The Qishloq xo'jaligi yo'li shaxsiy avtomobillar uchun soatiga 90 km / soat tezlikni cheklaydi va har bir yo'nalishda 4 ta yo'l bor. Bu asosiy yo'l, shuning uchun u biroz gavjum bo'lishi mumkin. Shuningdek, kirish huquqini taqdim etadi La'nat va Tanta.
• The Cho'l yo'li xususiy avtomobillar uchun 100 km / soat tezlikni cheklaydi va har bir yo'nalishda 4 ta yo'l bor. Ismga muvofiq, bu cho'lni kesib o'tadi va kamroq odam va tezroq. Har bir necha kilometrda bufetlar mavjud.

Misrda haydash uchun odatiy ehtiyot choralari qo'llaniladi; qarang Misr tafsilotlar uchun.

Qayiqda

Aleks yirik dengiz porti bo'lib qolmoqda, ammo ushbu mintaqadagi notinchlik va sayyohlar oqimining yo'qolishi sababli barcha xalqaro yo'lovchilarga xizmat ko'rsatishda eksa qolmoqda. Hali ham tartibga solish mumkin bo'lishi mumkin yuk tashish, ammo 21-asrda juda ko'p muhojirlar Yaqin Sharqdan dengiz orqali Evropaga etib borishga harakat qilayotganlarida, ular sizni olib ketishdan juda ehtiyot bo'lishadi. Shunday qilib, sizning eng yaxshi garovingiz gin-Palace xususiy yaxtasi bo'lgan do'stingizning foydasiga qo'ng'iroq qilish bo'lishi mumkin.

Bugungi kunda Med kruiz laynerlari bu erga kamdan-kam tashrif buyurishadi. Nil dengiz sayohatlari hali ham Iskandariya, Qohira va Misrning qadimiy joylarini Luksor va Asvangacha olib boradi. Ammo bularning barchasi sayyohlik marshrutlari bo'lib, ularni "nuqta-parom" sifatida bron qilish mumkin emas.

Atrofga boring

Iskandariya juda a uzoq shahar; Corniche bo'ylab mavjud bo'lgan mahalliy transport vositalaridan foydalanib, har qanday joyda juda ko'p narsalarni olishingiz mumkin.

Taksida

Iskandariyaning sariq va qora taksilari shaharda sayohat qilishning eng yaxshi usuli va arzonligi ham. Ehtiyot bo'ling: taksilar hisoblagichlarni ishlatishdan bir xilda voz kechishadi (stavkalar bir necha yil davomida o'zgartirilmagan) va haydovchilar iskandariyaliklardan (chet ellik va misrlik) foydalanishni yaxshi ko'radilar, shuning uchun narxni kelishdan oldin kelishib olish yaxshidir ichida. Shaharning har qanday ikki nuqtasi o'rtasida taksi qatnovi LE25 dan oshmasligi kerak. Agar siz Iskandariyaga bir kunlik sayohatda bo'lsangiz, kun davomida temir yo'l stantsiyasi tashqarisida taksi yollang va har bir joyga LE10-15 to'lang. Masalan, 3-4 soat ichida 5 ta joy ko'rishni rejalashtirsangiz LE50-60 atrofida, yoki 5-6 soat ichida 8-10 ta joyni ko'rishni rejalashtirsangiz LE80-100 atrofida to'lang.

Taksiga o'tirish uchun haydovchini silkitib, boradigan joyingiz nomini aytib baqiring. Agar haydovchi rozi bo'lsa, ular imkon qadar tezroq yo'l chetida to'xtashadi. Ba'zi taksilar yo'lovchisi bo'lsa ham sizni olib ketishni to'xtatadilar, ammo bunday takliflardan bosh tortish yaxshiroqdir. Bundan tashqari, har doim taksidan tushganingizda qayta tekshirib ko'ring, agar siz qimmatbaho narsani yo'qotib qo'ysangiz, qo'ng'iroq qilish uchun raqam yo'q va uni qaytarib berish ehtimoli deyarli yo'q.

Tezkor qo'ng'iroq 19559 yoki 0800-999-9999 telefonlari orqali taksilarni bron qilish mumkin (bepul). Ular qimmatroq, lekin odatda oddiy qora va yorqin sariq kabinalardan ancha yaxshi.

Careem va Uber Aleksandriyada ishlaydi. Biroq, sizning mahalliy raqamingiz borligiga ishonch hosil qiling, chunki ko'pchilik haydovchilar sizning qabul qilish punkti va tushish punkti haqida ko'proq ma'lumot olish uchun so'rovingizni qabul qilganlaridan keyin sizga qo'ng'iroq qilishadi.

Tramvay orqali

Iskandariyada chaqqon, sekin, ammo juda arzon tramvay 1860 yildan beri tuzilgan va uning bir qismi ko'rinadigan tizim - bu hali ham Afrikada ishlaydigan eng qadimgi tizim. Marshrut xaritasi ajoyib darajada chalkash va doimiy ravishda o'zgarib turadi, ammo bitta omil doimiy bo'lib qoladi: tarmoq shaharlararo bo'linadi Ramleh chiziqlari (Tramvay el-Raml) ishlatadigan ko'k-qaymoqli tramvaylar va dengiz bo'ylab sharqiy chekka tomon bir necha blok orqada shahar bo'ylab yugurib chiqing va Shahar chiziqlari (Tramvay el-Madina) ishlatadigan yorqin sariq tramvaylar va Aleksning markazidan g'arbga va janubga yuguring. Ikkalasi uchrashadilar Raml stantsiyasi (Mططط الlrml Mahattat al-Raml), Aleksning yuragida. Umuman olganda, Ramleh chiziqlari ularning yoshiga qaramay nisbatan tezroq, chunki ular bag'ishlangan va uzluksiz harakatlanish yo'llarining katta qismlariga ega; shahar satrlari esa tez-tez tirbandlikka tushib qoladi.

Ikkala yo'nalish uchun ham chegara narxi LE1, bortda sotib olingan. E'tibor bering, ko'k tramvaylarda birinchi avtomobil (uchtadan) faqat ayollar uchun mo'ljallangan. Chiziqlar soat 10:00 gacha yoki har soat 10:00 gacha davom etadi.

Ehtimol, sayyohlar uchun eng foydali xizmat - bu Raml stantsiyasidan Ras el-Tin va Fort Kayt-Beygacha boradigan №25 sariq tramvay. Bundan tashqari, har qanday ko'k tramvayga sakrashingiz mumkin g'arb Ramlga borish uchun Sidr Gabr avtobus / temir yo'l stantsiyasidan, lekin hamma sharqiy tramvaylar u erda to'xtamaydi.

Avtobusda

So'nggi bir necha yil ichida sezilarli darajada yaxshilangan turli xil mahalliy avtobus qatnovlari mavjud, ammo ular bir muncha vaqt Iskandariyada yashamaganlar uchun juda chalkash. Shahar avtobuslaridan tashqari, hop-go asosida ishlaydigan "mini-avtobuslar" ni ham topasiz. Ular osongina taniqli 14 kishilik avtobuslardir, ular sizning qo'lingizni silkitganda to'xtaydi va tushishingiz kerak bo'lgan joyda to'xtaydi. Haydovchilar ingliz tilida kamdan-kam gaplashadi, shuning uchun boradigan joyingizning arabcha nomini bilishingizga yoki qaerda to'xtashni bilganingizga ishonch hosil qiling. Marshrutlar odatda asosiy ko'chalar bo'ylab, haydovchilar taniqli marshrutlar bo'ylab harakat qilishadi. Marshrutlar transport vositasining yon tomonlarida arab tilida yozilgan, ammo arab tilida gaplashsangiz ham bu foydali bo'lmasligi mumkin; haydovchilar ba'zan marshrutlarini o'zgartirmasdan marshrutlarni o'zgartiradilar. Ammo, agar siz Iskandariyada bir muncha vaqt qolsangiz, mahalliy odamlar kerakli manzilni ko'rsatish uchun o'ylab topgan qo'l signallari tizimini biroz o'rganishingiz mumkin. Sayohat odatda LE0.50-1.50 orasida turadi.

"Kom el-Shouqafa" nomi "maydalangan toshlar" degan ma'noni anglatadi, chunki odamlar bu erda marhumlarga sopol idishlar bilan qurbonliklar olib kelishgan, keyin uylariga qaytishdan oldin bo'shliqlarni sindirishgan. Ular, ehtimol, dafn marosimlari va ko'ngil ochish marosimlari uchun dafn marosimida ibodatxona, chuqur spiral narvon va uchta er osti sathidan (er osti suvlari bilan to'lib toshgan) xizmat qilgan. Bu joy 1900 yilda eshakning tagida yo'l ochilganda topilgan.

  Katakombalar o'zlarining rejalari va bezaklari bilan qiziqarli, chunki fironik dafnlarning so'nggi qismi yunon va rim uslublariga o'tgan.

Yemoq

Alexandria is famous for having the best seafood restaurants in the country. A few other Alexandrian specialties worth looking out for:

• Alexandrian ice cream is similar to the typical soft-serve ice cream, but it is described as being a little bit 'stretchy'. It is available in numerous flavors, and according to the locals, this type of ice cream is only made in Alexandria and Greece. Try it at Bahary near Qait Bey, where popular shops include Makram, El-Sheikh Wafik, Azza, and "El Se'eedy". The ice cream can cost from LE1-5.
• Corn on the cob (dorra mashwey), available at street vendors lining the Corniche.
• Koshary, the Egyptian national dish, may be found in restaurants across the city. It's a mixture of noodles, rice, lentil and more noodles topped with a tomato sauce. Koshary topped with kibda Iskandarani—Alexandria-style liver with peppers—is a local tradition.

Byudjet

If you want to eat cheaply in Alexandria, try the places where the locals eat. Bear in mind that because health inspection in Egypt is lax, you should be careful at most of these restaurants if your immune system is unused to Egypt; however, if you expect to remain in Egypt for more than two weeks, it should be no problem.

• 31.2007929.897991 Tawn Coffe Shop ((yes, Coffe)). Great place right at the Corniche, with a decent pizza and chairs in front of the café for "enjoying" the traffic and view. Coffee LE5-10, hot chocolate LE15, large pizza LE30. (yangilangan Yanvar 2018)

• 31.2003529.900466 Mohamed Ahmed, Ramleh station (Opposite the Metropole hotel). Another well-known fuul/flafel joint. This is an unmissable destination in Alexandria. The fuul and falafel is better than just about any other establishment in Egypt and is incredibly affordable. A further advantage for tourists is that the management takes compliance with hygiene laws very seriously, and there is little risk of contracting traveler's diarrhea here (unlike many similar establishments). As a culinary and cultural experience, it should not be missed. 

O'rta masofa

Mid-priced by Egyptian standards, Western fast-food chains like Pizza Hut, McDonald's and KFC can all be found in the city's larger malls, but there are more interesting options as well.

The first one is in Sidi Bishr near the intersection of Sidi Bishr Mosque and Malak Hefny Streets (next to the Montaza District headquarters and Sidi Bishr urban rail/Microbus station) and the second one is in the "Downtown" shopping area on the outskirts of the city. People tend to like the one in "Downtown" more, although the Sidi Bishr location is older; both locations are good, however. It has been known for its delicious traditional Egyptian meat and poultry dishes and especially kofta; they also dabble in dishes from the Gulf. It has also a seafood section and the seafood soup is just amazing. About LE100 per person. 

Splurge

Many of Alexandria's high-end restaurants are located in its hotels.

• 31.20207629.90119112 Athineos Cafe, 21 Saad Zaghloul Sq (on the Corniche, near the Italian Consulate), ☏ 20 3-4860421. The "Mermaid of Alexandria" is a local legend frequented by both Durrell and Cavafy, but alas, it has fallen far since its glory days. The views are still amazing, and the Greek motifs in the gilded friezes and stenciled frescoes give some character, but the food is, despite the Greek names on the menu, almost entirely Arabized: order souvlaki and you'll get kebab.

Ride the elevator up to Olive Island Restaurant on the third floor: the place is dark and piled high with old furniture. So ride back down to the second floor which has White and Blue Restaurant out on the terrace, overlooking the eastern harbour. A few civilities like "Kalispera sas" go a long way as they clearly don't speak Greek themselves. Traditional East Med specialities such as kebabs, stews, and lots of fish. Clean, and inexpensive by western standards. (yangilangan Yanvar 2018)

Barlar

50 years ago a maze of bars and nightclubs filled the city, but visitors to today's Alexandria often complain that it can be hard to find a decent watering hole. Frequent travelers recommend a number of reliable establishments:

• 31.19807429.8956541 Spitfire Bar, Sa'ad Zaghloul St. Easy to overlook despite its obvious location on the corner of a square on this busy street. The building looks slightly derelict but is clearly marked above the doors.

In addition to local options, there's a Starbucks in San Stefano Grand Plaza and a Costa Coffee near Stanley Bridge.

Coffee shops

The humble ahwa, serving up coffee, tea and shisha (water pipe) is an Egyptian tradition and there are plenty to be found in Alexandria as well. Try a puff, play a little backgammon or dominoes, and watch the world pass by. These are largely a male domain though, and women will rarely been seen in them.

Uyqu

Accommodation in Alexandria has quite a different feel due to the old buildings with sometimes nice colonial style lobbies. There is a good selection of hotels in all price ranges.

Apartments

For longer stays of a month or more, why not try renting in Alex? Apartments are easy to come by, in a range of prices (LE180-1000 per week) and states of repair! Landlords/ladies tend to live in the same blocks and will be willing to haggle the rates. It's definitely worth visiting an apartment before placing any money down, preferably in late afternoon so you see how well the lighting works and the worst of any insect problems. (It's highly unlikely to find any accommodation near the coast that's completely 'roach-free'!)

Byudjet

It is mostly not necessary to reserve ahead online, this is in general more expensive. Just check around where many hotels are—there are at least 7 or so near Triopmhe Hotel, where you can walk in and ask for a price. One will definitely have the required budget and standard.

• 31.2006329.898093 Normandy Hotel, 8 Gamal el-Din Yassen (near Raml Station), ☏ 20 3-4806830, ✉[email protected]. The Normandy hotel is good value for money, but a little run down.

It has been given a half-hearted renovation, still keeping the turn-of-the-century style.

Alexandria's other grand old hotel, many of whose rooms are named after famous guests like Agatha Christie and Winston Churchill. Great central location, clean & comfy, helpful staff. The old wire-cage lift conjures period charm but it's basically a modern hotel, though some furnishings (e.g. bathroom) are kinda tired. Good sound-proofing, which you'll appreciate given the swirling Corniche traffic and many wedding parties held here. Decent Jardin restaurant for breakfast but the upstairs Chinese restaurant alas has closed. Service sometimes slow, no internet. (yangilangan sentyabr 2018)
• 31.21350529.94434316 Radisson Blu Hotel Alexandria, Alex West, ☏ 20 3 5896000, faks: 20 3 5896020. It's up against the water in the half-abandoned Alex West district. The hotel is far from the main city and rather badly maintained. 

Xavfsiz bo'ling

Although crime is rarely violent, beware of pickpockets and don't flash your valuables or wear a bum bag or fanny pack. Street kids, taxi drivers, and others may harass tourists. They will usually desist after a stern "La!" or two. Or you can say "la shukran!" (no thanks) or "emshi" (go!).

Alexandria is a conservative city, so women should cover their shoulders, midriffs, cleavage and legs. Even still, women can expect to be heckled or harassed in the street, especially if walking alone. The best response is to ignore the offender and pretend you don't hear anything. Cover your head when entering places of worship.
