Diving in Alexandria
Alexandria is known for its beautiful beaches that attract people from all over the world and it is the most recent diving spot in Egypt. It now offers one of the most interesting diving experiences in the world. Unlike the Red Sea, Alexandria does not have beautiful coral reefs neither colorful fishes but diving in Alexandria is a dive into history. Whole cities, palaces and boats lie beneath the Alexandrian shore. Although some of the important statues of queens and kings were extracted from under the water; some 7000 Monuments belonging to the Pharaonic and Roman dynasties are still preserved under the water.
Cleopatra Palace: is located inside the Western Port of
Alexandria. You will enjoy seeing Cleopatra's royal districts, the statue of
Mark Anthony and other monuments. Moreover another spot for diving is the
debris of Cleopatra's sun boat and the wreckage of a 2nd World War plane
that exists inside Cleopatra's palace.

Alexandria during Cleopatra's era. The second is the remains of a Roman
shipwreck that also used to carry goods to Alexandria. It is located about
650 meters away from Quaitbay Fort. The third spot is another wreckage of a
ship that was also used to carry goods during Cleopatra's era. It is located 450
