Alexandria, Egypt
Alexandria's identity has been tied to the Mediterranean Sea since its founding by Alexander the Great, and this festival celebrates the city's seafood tradition with fish and shellfish specialities served throughout the historic port city's waterfront.
Grilled fish, calamari and other Mediterranean seafood dishes reflect Alexandria's position as one of Egypt's most cosmopolitan cities, historically shaped by Greek, Italian and broader Mediterranean influence alongside its Egyptian identity.
