Lonely Planet review for synagogue
Alexandria's fabulous Italian-built synagogue was erected over a century ago, and served a thriving, wealthy, cosmopolitan Jewish community of about 15,000. Since the wars with Israel and the 1956 Suez crisis, that community has dwindled so that now when the synagogue opens each Shabbat, it rarely has the necessary 10 men to hold a service. Casual visitors are not usually admitted.
