Hi Delphine, when I got to Alexandria I met a taxi driver at the bus station and negotiated a fee! You can also orgnise a tour through your hotel but they may take comission. Hope this helps and have an amazing time! Sophie x

Hi again Anna, no it was really easy to get around Alexandria and Egypt in general! Most taxi drivers speak English, all the hotels do and even in restaurants, you’ll find someone who speaks English. The only time I struggled was when I had to talk to Uber drivers as sometimes they text in Arabic. But, that was a rare occurrence. I hope this helps :) Sophie x

Hi Anna, It’s beautiful isn’t it?! According to Google Maps the name of the Mosque is ‘Sidi Abo El Abbas El Morsi Mosque’ (Map pin link – https://goo.gl/maps/7yLYKNqUttP8L1Ge8). The picture I took of the complex is to the side of the main mosque. It’s not active but it’s stunning! I stayed in Alexandria 2 nights and 3 days to see everything. But, you could easily see the highlights in 2 days! Most people visit for just one day but I’d personally say that isn’t enough time. Hope this helps and have a great time! Thanks for reading.

One more question – was it hard to get around speaking English?

Thanks, Patrick!
