- 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 amassed numerous papyrus scrolls, thanks to the Ptolemaic kings’ proactive and well-funded efforts to acquire texts. Although the exact number of scrolls is unknown, 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. 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 mosque in Alexandria, Egypt. Named after the 13th-century mystic Abu’l Abbas al-Mursi, the mosque also serves as his burial site, along with members of the Ashraf family.
