Alexandria

Alexandria is Egypt's port city on the Mediterranean. It had a famous library and a lighthouse that was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World during the Hellenistic era.

How to Spend a Day in Alexandria?

National Museum of Alexandria: Constructed in 1926, the museum occupies the palace of Governor Al-Saad Bassili. It is a white Italianate palace that served as the social hub for Alexandria's upper-class Egyptians.

The Library of Alexandria: Reconstructed in 1987 as a tribute to the old library, this site serves as a still-standing reminder of the old epicenter of learning and culture.

Site of Kom the Dekka: This is an archaeological site of a Greco-Roman residential complex. This neighborhood's components include the baths, the cisterns, a few villas, and even a tiny amphitheatre.

Pompey’s Column: This was the location of the Serapeus Temple, a shrine dedicated to the worship of Serapis. Serapis was a Greco-Egyptian god who was designated by Ptolemy I as the official god of Egypt and Greece and the patron of Alexandria. 

Qaitbay Citadel: Built in the fifteenth century, Quality Citadel is a defensive fortress—quite new as compared to all the other monuments in Alexandria. It is situated at the port on the island of Faro.
