Egypt

 

Alexandria, with a population of 4.1 million, is the second-largest city in Egypt, and is the country's largest sea port, serving about 80% of Egypt's imports and exports.

 

Alexandria extends about 32km (20 miles) along the coast of the Mediterranean sea in north-central Egypt. It is home to the Bibliotheca Alexandrina (the new Library), and is an important industrial center because of its natural gas and oil pipelines from Suez, another city in Egypt. Alexandria was also an important trading post between Europe and Asia, because it profited from the easy overland connection between the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea.
