Off the Beaten Path (2015) : 9x23

Alexandria, Egypt’s second largest city, lies on the western edge of the Nile Delta along the Mediterranean coast. Named after Alexander the Great, it was once a centre of Greek learning and remains the country’s most important port. Today, Alexandria blends ancient heritage with Mediterranean charm and a touch of oriental chaos. This unique atmosphere also drew Dominika from Slovakia, who moved here three years ago. A seasoned traveller working remotely, she quickly fell in love with the city. We’ll explore bustling markets and spice shops, sample fresh bread and local flavours, enjoy a traditional Egyptian breakfast, and try the famous Alexandrian liver sandwich. We’ll end the day with homemade dishes and warm hospitality among Dominika’s friends.
