Alexandria (in Greek, ἈλεξάνδÏεια; in Coptic, â²¢â²â²•â²Ÿâ²§â²‰ RakotÉ™, in Arabic, الإسكندرية Al-Iskandariya, in Egyptian Arabic, اسكندريه Eskendereyya), with a population of 3.5 to 5 million, is the second-largest city in Egypt, and its largest seaport. Alexandria extends about 20 miles (32 km) along the coast of the Mediterranean sea in north-central Egypt. It is home to the Bibliotheca Alexandrina (the new Library of Alexandria), and is an important industrial centre because of its natural gas and oil pipelines from Suez.
