Three space elevators were located near the city.^[4]

TriviaEdit

• The city of New Alexandria is most likely named after the Egyptian city of Alexandria which was the location of a very large library.
• The city of New Alexandria is featured in the levels Exodus and New Alexandria in Halo: Reach.
• The metropolitan area of New Alexandria spans about 15 km x 6 km, making it a total of about 90 sq. km, albeit most of this is not exploratory due to game restrictions.
• The packaging of the Halo: Reach Legendary Edition states that the statue enclosed inside is a replica of the war memorial in New Alexandria, indicating the city being rebuilt during recolonization. This is also supported by the fact that many of its inhabitants left the city before the glassing and may have returned to rebuild it.
• The city is never confirmed to have been completely glassed, as the area around the playable portion of the level is still intact even with the most recent bombardment at the end of the level, because several cruisers left mid-level it is likely that the Covenant were finishing their involvement with the city.
• The units 4 Charlie 27, 7 Delta 19 along with another unit were tasked with destroying Covenant Communications Jammers in the city.
