The
second largest city
and the main port of
Egypt, Alexandria
was built by the Greek
architect Dinocrates
(332-331 BC) on the
site of an old village,
Rhakotis, at the orders
of Alexander the Great.
The city, immortalizing
Alexander's name, quickly
flourished into a prominent
cutural, intellectual,
political, and economic
metropolis, the remains
of which are still evident
to this day.
