Moment: As the balloon passes, a fishing boat fleet sails into the harbor, their colorful sails catching the wind and creating a vivid scene of Alexandria’s maritime life.
2. Bibliotheca Alexandrina
What They See: From above, the sleek, sun-disk-inspired design of the modern library stands out, with its massive granite walls etched with scripts from around the world.
Moment: A reflection of sunlight from the library’s glass roof dazzles the balloon basket as a bustling crowd streams into the library plaza below, emphasizing Alexandria’s role as a living hub of learning.
3. Corniche and Eastern Harbor
What They See: The curving Corniche sweeps along the coastline, packed with vibrant life. Crowds gather at cafés, children play on the beaches, and small markets line the sidewalks.
Moment: A musician’s song drifts up from the street, mingling with the distant call of seagulls. A sudden appearance of dolphins near the harbor delights those both in the air and on the water.
