Ferries at Alexandria
The port, the crossings in range, and where the timetables and tickets are sold.
Alexandria has a port on record: Mīnā al-Bassal (Wikidata). Whether a passenger crossing runs from it, and to where, is set by the operators; the port pages below give the sea distance to other port cities on this site, and the sellers hold the timetables.
