What should I pack when moving to Alexandria?
We asked people living in Alexandria to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Alexandria, it is important to pack items that will help you adjust to the climate and culture. Pack light, breathable clothing that is appropriate for the hot and humid climate. Bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun. Bring comfortable shoes for walking around the city. Pack a few items of traditional clothing to show respect for the local culture. Bring a few books or magazines to help pass the time. Don't forget to bring any necessary medications and toiletries. Finally, make sure to bring a valid passport and any other important documents," explained one expat living in Alexandria, Egypt.
