The city is very popular with those wanting a holiday filled with history and famous architecture. As it’s an old city, the roads are narrow too. For these reasons, it’s suggested that you opt for a compact car, so you can navigate the roads and park with ease. Alternatively, if you want to travel into the desert, you would be better off choosing a car that is more robust. For example, an SUV is better for off-road driving, as many have 4x4 capabilities as well as enhanced handling for uneven surfaces. Be sure to check that off-road driving is allowed in your hire vehicle before doing so.

It’s important you stay within the speed limits when driving in your Alexandria hire car. If you don’t, you may receive a fine from the local authorities and have a higher likelihood of an accident. If you’re on a desert motorway, you can drive as fast as 100 km/h. On other roads outside of the cities, you can go as fast as 90 km/h. Once you reach a city or town like Alexandria, you must lower your speed to no more than 60 km/h.

There are a lot of places to park in Alexandria, many of which charge a small fee. For example, you can park at Sporting Parking, close to El-Gaish Road. This costs about LE 20 (A$ 1.50) per day. Alternatively, there is a parking area on Al Mesallah Sharq Road, which is free of charge. However, to ensure you get a space, it’s wise to arrive there early.
