The UK ambassador to Egypt John Casson on Monday listed on his official Twitter account: @FCOJohnCasson 12 reasons to like Alexandria, Egypt's second-largest city.

Casson also posted photos of the city he captured himself. The ambassador used the hashtag #ReasonsToLikeAlexandria.

Here are 12 reasons why you should visit Alexandria, according to Casson:

1# My first home in Egypt, 2014.   

2# Seaside commuting.

3# Sunset, sea and 3asir limon- "Lemon Juice" in Arabic. 

4# Architectural treasures.

5# The calm of Montaza's gardens and sea views.

6# The world class Biblioteca Alexandrina.

7# The tram- 1/2 LE for a ticket and it is not crowded, according to the Cairo-based ambassador.

8# Qaitbay Citadel - turbulent past, peaceful present…

9# Boats in the Minaa Al-Sharqiya- "Eastern Port." 

10# Meeting place of faiths and civilisations.

11# The Corniche

12# A great place to learn Arabic; languages centre at the university of Alexandria.

Last week Casson tweeted a similar list of reasons to visit Cairo, along with photos from the Egyptian capital.
