Vincent Poon :: Alexandria (24th - 25th Apr 2007)
It was founded by Alexander the Great;
It was the site of one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world;
It was ruled by the famous Cleopatra VI and ...
It was also home to the Ancient Great Library...

Today, this ancient Alexandria is no more. Instead I found a city with a beautiful harbour, and with beautiful occupants in the library studying, in the sea fishing, or sitting in the corniche vowing their love to each other... I did not find a historical Alexandria, instead I found a beautiful Alexandria.

Some of these boats have got interesting pharaonic decorations on them
In front of Alexandria Dive Club, where you could join a diving tour with them to uncover the ancient empire of Cleopatra underneath the harbour.
