- Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa - The Catacombs of Kom el-Shouqafa stand as one of Alexandria, Egypt’s most intriguing and well-preserved archaeological sites. Originating from the 2nd century CE, these catacombs were initially built as a burial site for a prosperous family during the Roman era, showcasing a unique fusion of Egyptian, Greek, and Roman cultural elements. Over time, the site was forgotten until its rediscovery in 1900, marking it as one of Alexandria’s most significant archaeological finds. The Catacombs of Kom el-Shouqafa are now a candidate for UNESCO World Heritage status and continue to attract tourists interested in Alexandria and Egypt’s rich, multicultural history.
- Pompey’s Pillar - This memorial pillar is located within the ancient Serapeum, dating back to Roman times. The Serapeum of Alexandria was a magnificent temple dedicated to the Greco-Egyptian god Serapis, constructed in the 3rd century BCE during Ptolemy III’s reign. Situated on the slopes of Musallaba hill, it was a key religious and cultural hub in the ancient city. The Serapeum housed a renowned library, considered one of the ancient world’s great libraries, rivaling Alexandria’s main library.
- Bibliotheca Alexandrina - The Library of Alexandria, one of the ancient world’s most renowned libraries, was established in the 3rd century BCE during Ptolemy II Philadelphus’s reign, as part of his vision to make Alexandria the Mediterranean’s intellectual and cultural epicenter. The library was part of the larger Mouseion (Temple of the Muses), a research institution that drew scholars, philosophers, scientists, and poets from across the ancient world. Modern efforts to revive the ancient library’s spirit led to the creation of the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, a magnificent new library built in 2002 near the original site, designed to celebrate Alexandria’s rich legacy of knowledge and intellectual exchange. The new library symbolizes Alexandria’s ongoing role as a hub of learning and culture.
- Ancient Roman Theater, Alexandria - The Roman Theater of Alexandria is among the most significant and well-preserved archaeological sites from Egypt’s Roman period. Situated in the heart of Alexandria, it dates back to the 2nd century CE and was uncovered in the 1960s during construction. The theater was part of a larger complex that included residential and public spaces, reflecting the blend of Roman architectural styles with local Egyptian elements. Today, the site is open to the public and remains a vital symbol of Alexandria’s rich cultural and architectural heritage, showcasing the city’s mix of Greek, Roman, and Egyptian influences in antiquity.
