Alexandria is the second largest city in Egypt, and it is more Mediterranean than Middle Eastern.The governor called Alexandria"The pearl of the Mediterranean sea and Egypt".Alexandria was founded by Alexander the Great in the 5 century B.C{Romans generation}.The old city in the 5 century became the capital of the Greek-Romans Egypt.The ancient Alexandria is considered the center of culture and learning of the ancient world, so the Romans and Greeks are used the Hieroglyphic language to write books by ancient Philosophers in Alexandria.They are also used the lighthouse to guide the ships to the right route.The legendary lighthouse was one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.Alexandria is a beautiful city to spend good time with family and friends. We can do a lot activities like:visit famous places, celebrate Christmas, and do many things in night time in Alexandria.

Visiting famous places is important for spreading the culture in Middle Eastern and Egypt.The new library of Alexandria is one of the most important sites that we have to visit in Alexandria to reflect the revival of the ancient library of Alexandria Building a new library was a great project to develop the culture.The library has 500,000 million books from different civilizations, and it has also a lot of ancient maps for the creation of Alexandria in the 5 century.Alexandria has a few ancient manuscripts written Hieroglyphics languages and other manuscripts that burned in the 5 century.The library has eleven levels.Stanley Bridge is one of two main roads in Alexandria.It has a short length and width.In addition, we can walk on the Cornish to enjoy the fresh air and see a beautiful view of the sea, especially the sunset and sunrise.We can also enjoy a good time at the beach because Stanley has a lot of cabins with different view.Stanley Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in Alexandria.

Christmas in Alexandria is more wonderful than Cairo.People celebrate Christmas every year.We make a lot of decoration in the Christmas tree , and we put a gold star in a top of Christmas tree.We also put colorful balloons on every side and in the bottom a lot of presents.Most houses decorate the holy family house that include:Jesus, Mary,Joseph and three wise men.We put in it colorful lights and Christian song.We always attach a lot of bells in the house door.For example,if someone knocks the door, these bells make a beautiful sounds.In Christmas, we usually go to church to attend the mass and pray,so the servants of the church make a bid party to join together with love and humility.Christmas means loving each other and forgetting disputes.

Finally, There are many things to do at night time.We can go to the restaurants with our friends to eat delicious Egyptian foods,for example,we always eat{shish kebab, shrimp,grilled chicken, Egyptian salad,different meats, and a lot of vegetables}.Most people always drink tea after finish eating dinner.We can go to the movies to watch a lot of films like:comedy, romance, action, and watch drama.In Alexandria, we can spend our time with our family to go shopping, visit our relatives in another city, and have a walk on the Cornish to breathe fresh air.Spending time with family is very beautiful and enjoyable.
