- 1
Montazah Royal Gardens: The Alexandria Green Escape
The Montazah Royal Gardens (the most beautifully maintained single Alexandria public park on the most dramatically pine-and-palm-Mediterranean single 155-acre coastal estate at the most eastern single Alexandria coastal extreme, with the most historically significant single Khedive Abbas II summer palace (now the most closely guarded single presidential Alexandria residence), the most completely sandy single private beach accessible within the most scenic single garden park circuit, and the most completely pine-shaded single summer escape from the most heat-absorbing single Alexandria concrete Corniche), is the most practically pleasant single Alexandria afternoon.
- 2
Sidi Bishr Beach: The Local Alexandria Beach
Sidi Bishr Beach (the most locally frequented single non-resort Alexandria beach with the most completely Egyptian-family-populated single public beach atmosphere, the most affordably priced single umbrella and chair rental, and the most practically informal single Alexandria beach social scene where the most diverse single Egyptian family beach culture from the most traditionally conservative to the most swimwear-wearing single Egyptian beach-going culture coexists in the most socially democratic single Egyptian public beach space), is the most directly local single Alexandria summer beach experience.
- 3
Agami: The Elite Alexandria Suburb Beach
Agami (the most historically prestigious single Alexandria beach suburb 25 kilometers west of the city center with the most exclusively constructed single Alexandria villa beach community, the most expensively maintained single private beach compound, and the most specifically upper-class single Egyptian Alexandria summer residency tradition dating from the most specifically 1950s-60s single Egyptian bourgeoisie summer escape culture), is the most privately exclusive single Alexandria coastal zone and the beach area most completely associated with the most socially elite single Egyptian summer Alexandria residency.

Abu Qir Bay: The Napoleon Battle Site
Abu Qir Bay (the most historically dramatic single Alexandria coastal location as the site of the Battle of the Nile (1798, the most complete single British naval victory by Admiral Nelson over the most specifically anchored single French fleet, the most decisively French-expedition-stranding single sea battle that most completely trapped Napoleon in Egypt), now the most practically relaxed single seafood restaurant fishing village with the most directly locally-fished single Mediterranean catch restaurant along the most pleasantly sea-breeze-cooled single Alexandria coastal bay), is the most historically layered single Alexandria day trip.
- 5
Mediterranean Swimming: The Alexandrian Sea Culture
The Mediterranean swimming culture in Alexandria (the most classically Alexandrian single daily ritual of the most sea-swimming-normalized single Egyptian urban population who most uniquely treats the most open single Mediterranean sea swimming as the most practically natural single daily health activity in any Egyptian city), with the most dramatically sea-splashed single winter Corniche waves and the most perfectly calm single summer sea for the most socially communal single Egyptian urban beach swimming in the most publicly accessible single Mediterranean bathing culture, is the most distinctively Alexandrian single daily practice.
- 6
Hannoville and North Coast: The Egyptian Riviera
The North Coast Egyptian Riviera (the most rapidly developed single Egyptian Mediterranean coastal resort strip extending 200 kilometers west of Alexandria toward the Libyan border with the most extensively gated-community single Egyptian luxury beach compound at Marassi, Hacienda Bay, and Sidi Abd el-Rahman, the most dramatically white-sand single Mediterranean Egyptian beach, and the most comprehensively private-pool-villas single Egyptian summer elite destination), is the most rapidly growing single Egyptian domestic tourism market and the most dramatically upscale single Egypt coastal leisure development.
