• Graeco-Roman Museum - Established in 1892, the museum initially occupied a five-room apartment in a small building on Rosetta Street (later Avenue Canope, now Horriya). In 1895, it moved to a larger building near Gamal Abdul Nasser Street. The first director was Giuseppe Botti, followed by Evaristo Breccia from 1904 to 1932, and then Achille Adriani. The museum was officially opened in 1895 by Khedive Abbas II and published the Bulletin of the Alexandria Archaeological Society.

The museum houses numerous artifacts from the Greco-Roman (Ptolemaic) period in the 3rd century BC, including a black granite sculpture of Apis, the sacred Egyptian bull, mummies, sarcophagi, tapestries, and other items that illustrate the Greco-Roman civilization’s interaction with ancient Egypt.

The collection is a result of donations from affluent Alexandrians and excavations conducted by the museum’s directors, both in the city and its surroundings.

• Bibliotheca Alexandria - The Great Library of Alexandria in Egypt was one of the ancient world’s largest and most important libraries. 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 possibly initiated plans for the Library. However, the Library itself was likely constructed during the reign of his son, Ptolemy II Philadelphus. The Library rapidly amassed a vast collection of papyrus scrolls, thanks to the Ptolemaic kings’ aggressive and well-funded text acquisition policies. The exact number of scrolls is unknown, but estimates range from 40,000 to 400,000 at its peak.
• Qaitbay Castle - The Citadel of Qaitbay (or the Fort of Qaitbay; Arabic: قلعة قايتباي) is a 15th-century defensive fortress on the Mediterranean coast in Alexandria, Egypt. It was constructed between 1477 and 1479 AD (882–884 AH) by Sultan Al-Ashraf Sayf al-Din Qa’it Bay. The Citadel is located on the eastern side of the northern tip of Pharos Island at the entrance of the Eastern Harbour.
• Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa - The Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa (Arabic: مقابر كوم الشقافة; meaning “Mound of Shards”) is a historical archaeological site in Alexandria, Egypt, and is considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages.

The necropolis features a series of Alexandrian tombs, statues, and archaeological objects from the Pharaonic funerary cult with Hellenistic and early Imperial Roman influences. Due to the era, many features of the catacombs blend Roman, Greek, and Egyptian cultural elements; some statues are Egyptian in style but wear Roman attire and hairstyles, while other features share a similar style.

• Ancient Roman Theater, Alexandria - Roman theatres evolved from earlier Greek theatres and are part of their architectural progression. The Romans were heavily influenced by Greek architecture, and theatre design was no exception. However, Roman theatres have distinct differences, such as being built on their own foundations rather than on earthen works or hillsides and being fully enclosed on all sides.
• Mosque of Abu al-Abbas al-Mursi - Abul Abbas al-Mursi passed away in 1286 and was interred in a small cemetery in the Bab al-Bahr area. A small qubba was later constructed over it, which developed into a shrine. In 1307, a mosque was built over the shrine, funded by Zain al-Din al-Qattan, a merchant and Sufi shaykh of Alexandria. The Mamluk emir of Alexandria rebuilt the mosque in 1477.

In 1934, King Fouad I commissioned the construction of a mosque square covering about 3,200 square meters, including the mosque-shrines of Al-Busiri and Yaqut al-Arshy, with the mosque of Abu Al-Abbas Al-Mursi at the center. The building was then renovated and extensively rebuilt. Italian architect Mario Rossi contributed to the design and decor of the mosque, and construction took sixteen to eighteen years.
