• Alexandria Library - The Great Library of Alexandria in Egypt was one of the largest and most important libraries of the ancient world. It was part of a larger research institution called the Mouseion, dedicated to the Muses, the nine goddesses of the arts. The concept of a universal library in Alexandria may have been suggested by Demetrius of Phalerum, an exiled Athenian statesman, to Ptolemy I Soter, who likely initiated plans for the Library. However, the Library itself was probably constructed during the reign of his son, Ptolemy II Philadelphus. The Library quickly amassed numerous papyrus scrolls, thanks to the Ptolemaic kings’ aggressive and well-funded text acquisition policies. The exact number of scrolls housed at any time is unknown, but estimates range from 40,000 to 400,000 at its peak.

• Fort Qaitbey - The Citadel of Qaitbay, also known as the Fort of Qaitbay, is a 15th-century defensive fortress located on the Mediterranean Sea coast in Alexandria, Egypt. It was constructed between 1477 and 1479 AD (882–884 AH) by Sultan Al-Ashraf Sayf al-Din Qa’it Bay. The Citadel is positioned on the eastern side of the northern tip of Pharos Island at the entrance of the Eastern Harbour.

• Mosque of Abu al-Abbas al-Mursi - The Abu al-Abbas al-Mursi Mosque is a historic Egyptian mosque in Alexandria. It is named after the 13th-century mystic Abu’l Abbas al-Mursi, who is interred there along with members of the Ashraf family.
