3 Days in Alexandria on a Budget

This 3-day Alexandria budget itinerary is designed for budget travelers and Egypt overland visitors adding a Mediterranean city break. It keeps the schedule grounded in recognisable local anchors — corniche, library and cheap seafood, citadel, anfushi and markets, montaza gardens and tram rides — so the plan answers a real search rather than a generic city template. Fork this ItineraryKit draft to adjust hotel area, transport timing, meal budget and book-ahead activities around your exact travel dates.
