The "Al-Max" district in Alexandria was home to fishermen, where the fresh waters of the "Nile" met the Mediterranean Sea at the mouth of the "Mahmoudiya Canal." Houses were built in a terraced formation with windows overlooking the sea, and each house had two doors: one to the water and one to the street. Nicknamed "the Venice of Alexandria," the "Al-Max Lighthouse" stood over it as a signal tower. With climate change, the district became endangered, prompting efforts to revive it and restore it as a port connecting the "Nile" to the Mediterranean, carrying the fishermen's dream of survival.
