By Updated

Alexandria has 9+ food tours and culinary experiences covered in this guide, led by Alexandria Private Half-Day Food Tour, Taste of Alexandria: Liver, Sweets and Corniche Walk and Alexandria Food Tour - Top Rated. Each entry below includes the practical details — what it costs, when to go, and how to plan around it.

Alexandria is Egypt's second-largest city, a Mediterranean port stretching along a broad curving corniche on the country's northern coast. Founded by Alexander the Great in 332 BC, it was once home to the ancient Great Library and the Lighthouse of Pharos, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Today Alexandria mixes Greco-Roman ruins, Ottoman-era forts, Belle Époque architecture, and a lively seafood and fishing culture along a coastline of sandy bays.
