Faces of Alexandria [Part 1]

These are what I saw when we arrived in Alexandria, and I shots everything which are different from my hometown.
Most shots are taken in the bus during a journey to a location.
So, let the pictures talk to you.


Lots of them are not very rich, I mean not rich at all.




I'm telling you seriously, that these flats are built just like that in the middle of the highway with nothing at all around them, just desert!


Here we are, almost reaching the city of Alexandria. Any cars that painted black and yellow in colour, they are the taxi.
See the dirty road after rain? 2 explanations take place, Alexandria is Egypt's Largest port and second largest city.
Do not forget that Egypt plays huge market of petroleum production in the world.


Here are some shots of various buildings within Alexandria City.




As usual, some are nice, some are not. Some even looks unfinished or really unfinished, with tenants staying in there.


Street... The trams, cars, buses or lorries, people, all in one lane.
Small street business is how they earn for their living.
No doubt at all, not for the publicity nor the polices.


Still there are beautiful places and tourist attraction. This is the memorial for all the unknown brave soldiers of Egypt.


Alexandria famous bay.




Some night shots in the city.
Traffic is jammed for almost 24hours in Alexandria City as every Egyptians will say.
But, only for the way back in the city.


Dinner time!
I believe that best fishes or seafoods can only be served in Alexandria.
Because it's the nearest to the sea.

*More coming up soon*
