Today was our ‘free day’ so we decided to go up to Alexandria and do a tour. We went to see the famous accent wonder of the world – the Alexandria Lighthouse that happens to longer be there. The base is still there and has a nice backdrop by the sea. It was actually just really nice to get out of Cairo and have some fresh air. There isn’t exactly a beach to swim in but we dipped our feet quickly into the water before heading to a mosque.
We also visited their famous library which I assumed was going to be old and cool. It wasn’t. It was modern and was rather disappointing. They did have some nice modern art but that’s about it. We also saw a church and some monuments and other such things people see on such tours. It was an okay day but nothing that amazing. The next night for our final Egyptian dinner we went to a giant mall. The girls and I had dinner at an Italian place and it was rather good. We didn’t do any shopping just drove miles there because we wanted an actual supermarket, which happened to have closed down. Fail. We had to get up early the next day to fly to Amman.
The group of us in Alexandria library. A bit of a fail of the libraries half, it isn’t exactly an attraction.
