Local knowledge for Alexandria
Where to stay
Most budget places cluster around Raml Station, the city's main tram hub, putting you walking distance from the Eastern Harbor, Saad Zaghloul Square, and the cafes along Fouad Street. El-Anfushi, a few minutes north near the Qaitbay Citadel, is quieter and a touch cheaper, with guesthouses tucked behind the fish market.
Getting around
- Shared microbuses run the Corniche between Raml Station and the eastern suburbs for a few pounds, far cheaper than haggling with taxis for every move.
- Eat at the stalls inside El-Anfushi fish market instead of the Corniche-facing restaurants, which charge two to three times more for the same catch.
- Buy Cairo train tickets at Sidi Gaber station rather than Alexandria Misr, where the tourist queue can cost you an hour.
When to go
Hostels are cheapest November through March, then fill up fast in July and August when Cairo families take their summer holiday on the coast.
