All Roads Lead to Alexandria

No better emblem of ancient Alexandria could there be than the Lighthouse on Pharos Island. An ambience unique in history made Alexandria “the city that questioned everything”, and seekers from far and wide were drawn by its bright beacon to probe the nature of soul, body and world as never before. They blazed spiritual and scientific trails that have defined the Western quest ever since. Old Alexandria lives on in the rising spirit of the new, in the evocative physical remnants of the past, and as an image of compelling possibilities. For the pursuer of deepest truth, all roads led – and lead – to Alexandria.
