Catacombs at Kom el Shoqafa

Alexandria Library
The Library of Alexandria is one of the most important offices in the world and even the most important of them in the ancient era.

Citadel of Qaitbay
Sultan Qaitbay built this picturesque castle during the 14th century to defend Alexandria from the encroaching Ottoman Empire. It is now one of the most important monuments in Alexandria due to its excellent location and the beauty of its design.
Pompey’s Pillar
The magnificent Pompey’s Pillar that adorns one of the sites in Alexandria refers to a place that was once a huge and magnificent temple, built of marble and decorated with precious metals inside. Some of the tunnels around the complex are still open for tourists to explore.
