Welcome

The ancient city of Alexandria features the Mediterranean's second largest harbour. Visitors are attracted to its history of scientific discovery, conquest, earthquake, drama and intrigue as well as its culture.

AlexFest 2010 is the city's second annual cultural festival, bringing together the themes of the many continuing festivals and symposia held here every year.
 

And only Alexandria can successfully blend together ideas and activities which relate to Africa, Europe and the wider Arab world. AlexFest offers you the opportunity to enjoy all these during an event‐packed 15 day period in a pleasant climate as guests of a city which has welcomed new ideas for more than two thousand years.

Note: Events throughout marked with an asterisk* have been specially arranged for AlexFest 2010.
