Alexandria isn’t just a city—it’s a tapestry, a film reel, a poem written in stone.

Are you an expat or visitor craving a more genuine way to experience Alexandria? Then Ink, Film, and Stone is for you—our newest walking adventure through the city’s artistic heart. As we head toward the crossroads with Nabi Daniel Street, we’ll enter a space where art and memory converge. Here, the golden age of Egyptian cinema lingers beside the quiet apartment where Cavafy wrote Ithaka—verses that still travel the world.

This stretch of Fouad Street is more than beautiful buildings—it’s a hub once lit by theaters, hotels, and bold ideas. Today, Alexandria’s creative spirit flickers back to life, waiting to be rediscovered.

is it for me?

Are you a cinephile? A poetry lover? An architecture fan? Or maybe just a curious and creative mind looking for a new way to connect with the city? Then Ink, Film, and Stone is just for you. We keep things friendly, fun, and easy to follow. Every step is personal. Every moment, authentic. This is Alexandria as it should be experienced.

Led by Wafaa, an Alexandrian with a background in heritage who loves sharing stories, and Juan, a Guatemalan cultural mediator with a passion for travel, you’ll discover Alexandria with authenticity and adventure.

what will I see?

We’ll look beyond façades and into the heart of Alexandria’s artistic legacy. Highlights include:

• The Opera House – a cultural beacon where Alexandria’s elite gathered.

• Cinema Amir & Cinema Metro – fading giants from Egypt’s golden cinematic age.

• The house of Konstantinos Cavafy – a poet’s sanctuary, where verses of longing were quietly born.

• The statue of Khedive Ismail – a marker of Alexandria’s Renaissance.

And of course, more hidden details, artistic layers, and human stories that bring it all to life.
