Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa - The Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa are Alexandria’s most remarkable ancient remains, dating back to the 2nd century AD. Excavation began in 1892, and the catacombs were discovered by accident eight years later when a donkey fell through a chamber ceiling. A long spiral staircase leads to the main hall, running down the outside of a shaft that was used by excavators to transport the bodies of the deceased. The staircase leads to three floors showcasing an extraordinary blend of ancient Egyptian and Greco-Roman art. Additionally, other tombs have been entirely cut and transferred to be displayed at Kom el Shoqafa.

Pompey’s Pillar - Pompey’s Pillar, also known as the Serapium Oracle, is Alexandria’s most famous tourist attraction, though it can be underwhelming. It is essentially a tall granite pillar, standing at 88 feet, situated on a hill surrounded by ruins. The pillar was mistakenly named after Pompey by the Crusaders, but it actually dates to the 3rd century AD and was erected in honor of Emperor Diocletian on the site of a Ptolemaic temple to Serapis. Informative signs on the ruins label each spot as a “pool” or “bath,” which may appear as indistinguishable rocks to the untrained eye. The late-model sphinxes on pedestals add some character. Interestingly, from the hill, you can glimpse inside the adjacent walled cemetery and view a long, bustling market street.

Lighthouse of Alexandria - Visit the impressive Fort of Qaitbay, also known as the Citadel of Qaitbay, constructed in 1479 AD. It was built to protect Egypt’s northern shores from Crusader attacks and stands on the ruins of the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria. Here, you can enjoy the best views of Alexandria and the freshest air.

Mosque of Abu al-Abbas al-Mursi - The Al-Mursi Abu Al-Abbas Mosque, built in the Andalusian style, features domes, numerous columns supporting the roof, a tall minaret, and intricate arabesque and mosaic work on the windows and doors. The ornate mihrab is elevated from the minbar. Inside, the mosque contains 16 marble and granite columns, each a single octagonal piece ending with a crown about eight meters high, with four columns being particularly notable. It is the main mosque of Alexandria and was designed by Italian engineer Mario Rossi.

Bibliotheca Alexandrina - The Library of Alexandria, also known as Bibliotheca Alexandrina, was one of the greatest classical institutions. Replacing it seemed a Herculean task, but the new Bibliotheca Alexandrina, opened in 2002, achieves this with great success. This modern architectural marvel aims to rekindle the brilliance of the original center of learning and culture. The complex has become one of Egypt’s major cultural venues, hosting numerous international performers and housing a collection of outstanding museums.

Ancient Roman Amphitheater - Experience the grandeur of the Roman amphitheater in Alexandria. Immerse yourself in the rich history and architectural beauty of this ancient structure. Explore the fascinating ruins and imagine the events that once took place within its walls.

Ancient Roman Amphitheater - The amphitheater of Alexandria was discovered by chance in 1960 when the Egyptian government was preparing to construct a building in the Kom El Dekka area. A worker found a solid column beneath the dust and sand, prompting an excavation team to investigate. The Roman theater, built in the 4th century AD and used until the 7th century, was a significant 20th-century discovery, spanning the Roman, Byzantine, and Islamic eras.
