In the year 331 BC, fresh from his conquest of Egypt, Alexander the Great established a new city in Egypt named after himself.
This new city, situated on the shore of the Mediterranean Sea, at the end of the Nile Delta, would go on to become one of the most important cities in the world, and Alexander’s city is still alive and vibrant today.
