It is located at 31°12'N, 29°15'E, 208 km (129 miles) northwest of Cairo. The Canopic mouth of the Nile (now dry) was 19 km (12 miles) east, near the ancient city of Canopus. It was named after its founder, Alexander the Great, and as the seat of the Ptolemaic rulers of Egypt quickly became one of the greatest cities of the Hellenistic world – second only to Rome in size and wealth throughout much of antiquity. However, upon the founding of Cairo by Egypt's mediaeval Islamic rulers its status as the country's capital was usurped, and it fell into a decline, which by the late Ottoman period had seen it reduced to little more than a small fishing village. The city Alexandria is built on the strip of land which separates the Mediterranean from Lake Mareotis (Mariout), and on a T-shaped peninsula which forms harbors east and west. The stem of the T was originally a mole (breakwater) leading to the island of Pharos which formed the cross-piece. In the course of centuries this mole has been silted up and is now an isthmus half a mile wide. On it a part of the modern city is built. The cape at the western end of the peninsula is Ras et-Tin (Cape of Figs); the eastern cape is known as Pharos or Kait Bey. South of the town – between it and Lake Mareotis – runs the Mahmudiya canal, which enters the western harbour by a series of locks. Attention! Rembember that it is very important to make up your mind about booking your rent a car as soon as possible.
