Meet the Alexandria Originals

From its beautifully preserved historic architecture to the unique collection of independently owned shops and restaurants, Alexandria is known for its originality. Just as an original work of art is more valuable than an imitation, visiting Alexandria is a priceless experience that can be enjoyed on any budget.

We invite you to browse our "Alexandria Originals" and plan to frequent the many hotels, shops, restaurants and attractions throughout the City. During your visit to Alexandria, you may likely meet many of these "Originals," as they are the real-life individuals that will make your experience a one-of-a-kind memory.
