Took the metro to Mubarak station then took the 9am train to Alexandria, around 200km from Cairo.

The city was founded by and named after Greek conqueror Alexander the Great. Arrived at the city around 12pm.

Went to the Alexandria Bibliotheca (5LP). During ancient times, Alexandria had one of the greatest library in the world. The library was no longer here so the bibliotheca was built instead.

Walked around the city for 4 hours.

Then took the 5pm train back to Cairo. Again, the weather here is so hot, probably above 100 Fahrenheits again. Arrived cairo around 8pm, then take the 10.15pm train (165 pounds) to Luxor. The train is very old and dirty, will arrive in Luxor 10am the next day.
