Alexandria · Cairo road, Alexandria

City Centre Alexandria

Alexandria's big mall, with a hypermarket and international brands.

€€ Mid-range

On the edge of town on the Cairo road, a modern mall built around a hypermarket: clothes, electronics, food, cinema. You go there for a specific errand rather than to wander.

The extra bit

The hypermarket is the best place in town for packaged tea, spices and dates, at fixed prices.

Know before you go

Far from the historic centre: allow for a taxi and avoid office rush hours.
