    You're in one of the most precious cities in the world. Alexandria was an emblem of a human paradise on Earth. It was built by Alexander the Great and it was meant to be the capital of his empire, but unfortunately he died in a young age and he couldn't see his dream come true. Later on, Alexandria was the place where the world's two greatest cultures collided, the ancient Egyptian and the Greek. Its bibliotheca was a source of enlightenment to the whole world. Then in the late 19th century, Mohamed Ali started to restore the glory of this magnificent ancient city. It became a promising land where you can start from rags to riches. It became the destination to many Europeans, especially, Greek, Italian, and Areminan, who populated the city in great numbers and built their own communities. Thus, Alexandria bcame a cosmopolitan city where people from different nationalities lived together in perfect harmony. The old buildings that you captured in the video are traces of the old cosmopolitan Alexandria.

    Hello Doug! I have to tell you this, you're becoming my favorite travel vlogger, your vlogs are very natural, simple funny and relatable AND you're such a brave guy! seeing most of your vlogs and how you have no problem walking alone between mountains in the plain desert or through dark alleys - i'm like oh dear 😰😰😰 i hope it's not another 127 hours/ tourist gets lost in the desert type of movie 😂💔- and then deciding to go get a haircut at the smallest barbershop that even the Alexandrian youngsters won't notice and he gave youu a very nice haircut by the way his skills surprised me 😂😂 you got some guts! You're blending so well with the community like you're one of us. Egyptians appreciate genuine easygoing people like you and your energy attracts good people, keep it that way! Tip: for the prices let them use your phone's calculator to type in numbers if you can't understand eachother. Welcome to our city Alexandria anytime it's your second home🏖

    That was so fun!!! As someone who's already from Alexandria, i really enjoyed watching this tour and i hope to be able to have this experience soon!! And omg, can't believe some people in the comments have such a negative mentality that sees everything bad!! Y'all gotta learn how to respect our country and city and talk more good about it, idk why do we always have the bring ourselves down, for example some tourists said that Milan isn't the best city to visit and many stuff are bad there, yet i've never heard anyone from Milan talking shit about it!!! And here we're in freaking Egypt, a country which almost everyone is envying us to be from, and that's how we talk about our cities and about ourselves.??.. We'll never be as great as our ancestors as long as we're degrading ourselves and focusing on the tiniest bad points!!! Thank youu Doug for being a great tourist tho!!!! I don't think any foreign vlogger did the same job you did by showing the smallest details and perks of our country!!!
