Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Alexandria right now.
The arts scene in Alex lags way behind Cairo, but there are some beacons of interest to explore. Although Alexandria has a couple of annual and biennial festivals, none would warrant a special trip to Alexandria in itself; however, several events are worth attending if you're in town when they're on.
Alex's opera house is also known as the Sayed Darwish Theatre. The 1921 edifice reopened after a full renovation project early in the 21st century. It offers a season of eclectic performances plus the occasional visiting company.
