Alexandria

On the way on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, Alexander attracts a spot of land separating the Mediterranean Sea from Lake Mariout. Alexander thinks carefully about this spot that it has amazing specifications suitable for creating a great city on the latest styles at that time. The possibility of the arrival of fresh drinking water from the Nile through the canopic branch, and the presence of a small island in the face of that spot is not more than one mile away from what can be connected together. These specifications convinced Alexander of the necessity of establishing a city on this site that bears his name and perpetuates his memory and is a port that serves international trade in this region. It is worth noting that the western end of this area, which is a village called Rakutes, was inhabited by the people who were fishing.
The idea was sealed in Alexander 's mind, and he entrusted his Greek architect (Dino Caratas) to plan this new city.
