All you Alexandrians out there won't like this story, but you have to admit it's true...

An article was recently written about Alexandria's transformation from a beautiful beach to the chaos and galabayas.

Aug. 11 (Bloomberg) -- Along miles and miles of crowded beachfront in Egypt’s second city, women in bathing suits are nowhere in sight. On Alexandria’s breeze-blown shores, they all wear long- sleeve shirts and ankle-length black caftans topped by head scarves. Awkwardly afloat in the rough seas, the bathers look like wads of kelp loosened from the sandy bottom.

The article goes on to say that the scene in Alex is something they would expect to see in Saudi or Iran, but not Egypt.

Now that really upsets us to read because although we know that Alexandria in the summer is an absolute disaster, it is still really nice in the winter and used to be the "hot spot" back in the day with it's beautiful beaches and corniche.
