Archaeologists posit that the Catacomb of Kom el Shoqafa, initiated in the 2nd century A.D., served as a burial site for approximately 200 years. This era in Alexandria's history witnessed a rich blend of diverse cultures, including the ancient Egyptian kingdoms spanning millennia.
Contrary to its name, Pompey Pillar's origins are unrelated to Pompey himself. The name is tied to the possible burial site of the Roman general who fled to Egypt and was assassinated after losing a crucial battle in Greece against Caesar. Likely erected in honor of Emperor Diocletian, the red granite column stands at 25 meters, claiming the title of Alexandria's tallest ancient monument.
Constructed in the 15th century by Mamluk Sultan Qaytbay, the Citadel stands as a defense against Crusader threats. Utilizing remnants of the ancient lighthouse built by Ptolemy II in the 3rd century B.C., damaged during a 1303 earthquake, the Citadel is a remarkable Islamic monument.
Indulge in lunch at an Egyptian restaurant in Alexandria.
Reborn in October 2002, The Library of Alexandria aims to reclaim the legacy of its ancient counterpart. Beyond its striking architecture, it serves as a comprehensive complex where arts, history, philosophy, and science converge. The library fosters open discussions, dialogue, and understanding.
