A
Grand Marine Water Sports
If you prefer to keep your head above water, you can zoom around the bay on a jet-ski rented from Grand Marine Water Sports. Rentals range from around £E300 to around £E450 per hour, though you'd be well advised to keep your mouth shut - the water in the bay is far from hygienic.

Alex Dive
It’s possible to explore the submerged harbour sites through Alex Dive, where a two-dive package costs US$100, with equipment rental an extra US$20. Several divers have reported that poor visibility in the bay (as little as 1m depending on the time of year) affected their enjoyment of the harbour dives.

Horse-drawn Carriage Rides
If the unhurried trams of Alexandria aren't quite slow and relaxed enough for you, you can take it down another notch by getting a Horse-drawn Carriage Rides. Popular during the summer months, these Victorian-style carriages clip-clop their way along the Corniche and are happy to take you to the major tourist attractions. A sunset trip along the waterfront could be quite romantic if it wasn't for the occasional blaring horns of taxis and microbuses trying to get past.
