actually i found alexandria a lot safer than cairo, as cairo is the busiest and most populated city in egypt. I had no troubles in Alexandria whilst I was there studying. One colleague who was studying on the same course told me how her bag was cut open with a knife and had things taken out there whilst she was walking out and about in Cairo without her noticing at the time.
Cairo of course is another great city but for me Alexandria was the best experience. Some of the best weather I have experienced too.
