Your Expat Community in Alexandria

Start Your New Life as an Expat in Alexandria

The Mediterranean port city of Alexandria, Egypt has been the home of one of the seven wonders of the ancient world — the Lighthouse of Alexandria — as well as the Great Library of Alexandria, famous not only for its size and significance at the time, but also for its sad end. Expats can look forward to exploring the city's ancient and imperial history through its many museums and cultural remains. There are a number of expats located in Alexandria and many work for multinational companies or teach English in the city. While many expats find that English language skills as well as professional skills have befitted them when it comes to finding work, they also find that speaking Arabic is often important to potential employers.
