The city of Alexandria in the western Nile Delta was founded by Alexander the Great in ancient times and, along with Rome, was considered the most important destination on the trade routes that connected Africa and India with the Mediterranean world. An amphitheater built for the staging of our intoxicating dreams, for the worship of our very own essence - as a nexus of rites celebrating opulence as a religion. The incense that glows with passion in dark eyes. A love letter long enough to fill an entire library. The intimacy of a blooming rose, the missing half of an apple, the gentle power of cedar, the poisonous temptation of lily of the valley. A river of passion flowing through the middle of a city. The mature Cambodian oud enters our olfactory sense like a queen entering the court to the accompaniment of a gong, leaving a trail worth more than gold. Welcome to Alexandria: The most beautiful victory in history.
