Alexandria city has always been considered as a cosmopolitan place for every one to obtain knowledge, experience and creativity. Nowadays, it is loosing its cultural nature, as a result of marginalizing from the centralized system of successive governments.
Lake of cultural venues is one of the main issues that affected the cultural life of the city, where there are only:
- 6 equipped theatre venues – 5 of them are owned to the public sector.
- 3 visual art venues and 11 not for profit cultural organization.
Alexandria has:
- more than 5 million of residents at least 2 million yearly visitors
