In September, the annual Alexandria International Film Festival gives the Egyptians a rare opportunity to see foreign movies without censorship: the Convention Hall on the way to the library is the main venue for the film screening. Residents really like to watch movies and often go to the cinema, especially during Ramadan they show additional sessions in all cinema theaters. In the center of Alexandria, two shopping centers Royal Renaissance and Amir broadcast two or three movies in English on several huge screens that you may have already seen a year ago.
