About Alexandria
Alexandria is Egypt's traditional commercial gateway on the Mediterranean and is usually the shorter road move for cargo destined to Cairo. It handles containers alongside general and bulk cargo across two adjacent basins. It sits inside the city, so terminal access is affected by urban traffic.
First Base Freight handles both import and export cargo through Alexandria — inbound from any country and outbound to any country. Indicative sea transit on our the UK lane is 12–17 days; transit on any other routing is confirmed at quote stage. For rates, container options and the wider Egypt lane, including air freight and customs clearance, see the country page — or request a quote for this port.
