Alexandria Travel Guide - Pearl of the Mediterranean
Alexandria Travel Guide - Pearl of the Mediterranean
Founded in 331 BC by 25-year-old Alexander the Great, Alexandria (Al Iskendariyya) is the stuff of legend. Its towering Pharos lighthouse, marking the ancient harbour's entrance, was one of the Seven Wonders of the World, and its Great Library was considered the archive of ancient knowledge. Alas, fate dealt the city a spate of cruel blows. The Pharos collapsed and the Great Library was torched. Part of the ancient city disappeared under the sea and part under the modern city, so there are few visible remains of the glorious past.
Few cities of the world have a history as rich as that of Alexandria; few cities have witnessed so many historic events and legends. Founded by Alexander the Great (Iskander al-Akbar) in 331 BC, Alexandria became the capital of Greco-Roman Egypt; its status as a beacon of culture is symbolized by Pharos, the legendry lighthouse that was one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
The Lighthouse of Alexandria (Pharos) was built in the third century BC by Ptolemy I on the island of Pharos. The height of the lighthouse was between 115 and 150 meters, so it was among the highest structures in the world, second only to the Great Pyramids. The lighthouse was built on 3 floors: a square bottom with a central heart, a section octagonal average and above an upper section. And on the top there was a mirror that reflected sunlight during the day and used fire for the night. But it was damaged by 2 earthquakes in 1303 and 1323.
The Library of Alexandria was the largest library of the ancient world and the place where great philosophers and scientists of that age came to seek knowledge. Alexandria also hosted, at the time, the largest Jewish community in the world, and the Septuagint, the first Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, was written in the city.
In all, Alexandria was one of the greatest cities in the Hellenic world, second only to Rome in size and wealth, and while it changed hands from Rome to Byzantine and finally Persia, the city stayed the capital of Egypt for a millennium.
Alas, the city's reign came to an end when the Arabs conquered Egypt in 641 and decided to found a new capital to the south in Cairo. (Scholars still debate if this was when the Library was finally destroyed; it is known that the Library was, at the very least, sacked and badly damaged by the Romans themselves in 48 BC, c. 270, and once more in 391.)
Alexandria has a Mediterranean climate, with warm humid summers and mild rainy winters. The daytime can be humid in summer, with summer temperatures averaging 31°C (88°F), but evenings are usually cooler and breezy, especially by the Corniche. Winters can get cold, with daytime highs down sometimes to 12°C (53°F), with ocassional rain and sometimes hail.
Alexandria is quite a long city; you can get pretty much anywhere by using the local transportation available along the Corniche. There are a variety of local bus services which have improved significantly in the past few years, but they are rather confusing for those who haven't lived in Alexandria for a while.

Nostalgic Glimpses from Cosmopolitan Alexandria
Cosmopolitan Alexandria is a term that is usually applied for a period in the history of the Egyptian city of alexandria lasting from [1860 -1961]. Large numbers of Greeks, Italians, French, English,Maltese, Armenians, Lebanese, Syrians,Turks,Bulgarians,Jews ,etc,lived in harmony within each other and with the local people . Sadly enough,the cosmopolitan nature of the city was abruptly put to an end when the Egyptian presedent Nasser issued the socialist laws of 1961,followed by the planned Arabinization of the names of streets and districts of the city.Most European communities left Alexandria except for a still existing very small Greek community and a slightly larger Armenian community
The decline in the cosmopolitan nature of Alexandria,although more profound in the year 1961 which witnessed the mass exodus of most non Hellenic communities,the Hellenic [Greek ] presence in Alexandria was still prominent and visible till at least the year 1975.
European influence on the city can be still seen in Alexandria after 50 years from the end of the cosmopolitan era of the city.In the following,I will try to show some landmarks of this era of the history of Alexandria.I am a still living witness to this era and hope that I can do something to preserve these memories for history and newer generations .The sequence of the presented photos are as follows:
1. An old building with a carved writing [Banque Emperiale Ottomane].

جاليري جيبسوم، القاهرة
يقدم الفنان السكندري محمود خالد في هذا المعرض الفردي أعمال تصوير ونحت ورسم ونصوص وفيديو وتركيب مستوحاة من لوحة زيتية رائدة تنتمي إلى القرن التاسع عشر، شاهد خالد اللوحة أثناء زيارته لمتحف الاسكندرية للفنون الجميلة، فدفعته إلى سلسلة من التأملات حول التعليم الكلاسيكي الذي خاضه كرسام في كلية الفنون الجميلة بالأسكندرية وعلاقته المعقدة بلغة وقيم الفن المعاصر. فأعد خالد سرداً يتألف من ست مصطلحات تتكرر عادة في كتب تاريخ الفن وتستخدم لتعريف الممارسات الفنية، وهي: عملية فنية، وخامة، وتفصيلة، ومصدر، ومشروع، وتكوين، ويعرض خالد رؤيته من منظور طالب أو فنان شبه خيالي في رحلة إلى حدائق أنطونيادس بالأسكندرية التي تستخدم عادة كمكان للمشروعات الدراسية الخارجية في كلية الفنون الجميلة، كما يتضمن المعرض عملا سابقاً لخالد بعنوان تذكارية الفشل (٢٠١٣) وهو يحتوي على فيديو وعملاً نحتياً، ومبني على زيارة فعلية لاستديو الفنان من قبل المفكر الايطالي المعروف فرانكو- بيفو - براردي، ويقدم الفيديو تصويراً قام به خالد خلال رحلة بتلفريك بطئ يتنقل ما بين قمم الجبال في جونية بلبنان وريو دي جينيرو بالبرازيل.
ويقدم خالد في هذا الفيديو جولة بالمعرض، يستعرض من خلالها المنهجية التي اتبعها في تطوير الأعمال السبعة.

Mahmoud Khaled - Painter on a study trip
April - May 2014
Gypsum Gallery, Cairo
In his latest solo exhibition at Gypsum Gallery, Alexandrian artist Mahmoud Khaled presents a selection of photography, sculpture, painting, text, video and installation works inspired by an eponymous 19th century painting at the Museum of Fine Arts in Alexandria. This painting made the artist reflect on his classical training as a painter at the Fine Arts Academy in Alexandria and its complicated relationship to the language of contemporary art
Khaled, thus, compiled six key terms that recur in art history books to define art practice: process, material, detail, source, exercise and composition, and used them as the basis for six new works shown in Painter on a study trip. The exhibition is presented from the perspective of a semi-fictitious student/artist on a field trip to Antoniades Garden, a landmark Alexandrian park modeled as a miniature version of Versailles Palace, and used as a standard location for outdoor assignments at the art academies. Painter on a study trip also includes an earlier work by Khaled entitled Memorial to Failure (2013) comprised of a video and a sculpture. The work is based on an actual studio visit between the artist and renowned Italian thinker Franco 'Bifo' Berardi
In this video, Khaled offered visitors a tour of the show, reflecting on his inspirations and the process through which he developed the work
