Although Egypt's northern coast has attracted a lot of people in recent years, Alexandria remains one of the main attractions of Egypt's summer vacation tourism.
Given the density of holidaymakers on the shores of Alexandria, which stretches from Maamoura in the east to Ajami in the west, this opens the door to many occupations from which ordinary people live, in this city, which is the second largest Egyptian city after the capital Cairo.
At the forefront of these seasonal occupations comes the rental of chairs and umbrellas (for umbrellas) for holidaymakers, as well as the sale of clothing, especially sea clothing, as well as sellers of ice cream, toys, snacks and others.
Ajami Beach, about 20 kilometers west of central Alexandria, was once known as an elite beach, and although areas such as the northern coast as well as Sharm el-Sheikh and Hurghada on the Red Sea have attracted much of the Egyptian elite, this beach is still a privileged place for many people, especially Middle class.
Ajami beach has many monuments, including a castle dating back to the French campaign against Egypt (1798-1801), as well as a number of watchtowers built during the Ottoman era.
