- Ancient Roman Amphitheater - The term amphitheatre originates from ancient Greece, referring to an open-air venue used for various performances. Greek amphitheatres were typically circular or oval with tiered seating for spectators. These structures, resembling open-air stadiums, were prevalent in regions like Italy, Turkey, Jordan, and Greece during Roman rule. Alexandria’s amphitheater was discovered by chance in 1960.
- Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa - Next, we visit the Catacombs of Kom El-Shoqafa, which feature tombs on three levels and include the Tri-cilium, where relatives would sit on stone benches to honor the deceased. The site also boasts reliefs of bearded serpents and 2nd-century AD statues of Sobek and Anubis dressed in Roman armor.

It played a significant role in Alexandria’s fortification system in the 15th century A.C. Qaitbey Fort is located at the entrance of the eastern harbor on Pharos Island, built on the site of the historic Lighthouse of Alexandria.
