Today's weather is much better! We decided to head out and check out the waterfront district of Alexandria. Located on the Mediterranean Sea, we were much excited to check out the modern areas of the city.
We began at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina - the remodeled recreation of the famous Library of Alexandria. With very modern design, I loved the architecture both outside and inside the Library. Here are a few pictures.
We also toured the bazaar Khan el-Khalili, and spent most of the day wandering around looking at all the things we could buy. We sampled random foods, and picked up some nice trinkets to bring home. We're not too keen on picking up too large of items, because we still have a couple of legs of our trip left. We did enjoy a coffee house in the bazaar, where we enjoyed nice cups of fresh arabic coffee. The smells from the freshly roasted coffee lured us inside, and we were not disappointed in the taste!!!
A relaxing day at the bazaar left us in great spirits for the rest of our trip... or maybe it was the caffeine high that we were riding....
Total costs for the day: 1581 Egyptian Pounds
