The book explores the rich and complex history of Alexandria, covering its evolution from the time of its founding by Alexander the Great to the modern era, while also providing a practical guide for visitors today. The text delves into significant periods such as the Greco-Egyptian times, the Christian era, and the Arab conquest, all framed in a way that connects historical events with contemporary landscapes.  The opening of the book sets the stage for this exploration by outlining its two main components: a detailed history and practical guidance for travelers. The history section begins with an account of Alexandria's geographical significance, its heroic foundation, and the pivotal figures such as the Ptolemies and Cleopatra. Forster’s writing emphasizes the blend of cultures and the city's unique characteristics over the centuries, thereby inviting readers to appreciate both its past and present. The practical guide section promises to connect visitors with the historical sites mentioned, ensuring that the city’s ancient legacy is tangible and accessible to those who explore its streets today.
