What to expect

  1. Catacombs Of Kom El Shoqafa
    2h · Admission ticket included
    The catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa (meaning "Mound of Shards") are a historical archaeological site located in Alexandria, Egypt, and are considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages.
  2. Bibliotheca Alexandrina
    3h · Admission ticket included
    The Bibliotheca Alexandrina (English: Library of Alexandria)
    is a major library and cultural center located on the shore of the Mediterranean Sea in the Egyptian city of Alexandria.
  3. Citadel of Qaitbay
    3h · Admission ticket included
    It was the eighteenth Burji Mamluk Sultan of Egypt from 872–901 A.H. (1468-1496 C.E.). (Other transliterations of his name include Qaytbay and Kait Bey.) He was Circassian by birth and was purchased by the ninth sultan Barsbay (1422 to 1438 C.E.) before being freed by the eleventh Sultan Jaqmaq (1438 to 1453 C.E.). During his reign, he stabilized the Mamluk state and economy, consolidated the northern boundaries of the Sultanate with the Ottoman Empire, engaged in trade with other contemporaneous polities, and emerged as a great patron of art and architecture. In fact, although Qaitbay fought sixteen military campaigns, he is best remembered for the spectacular building projects that he sponsored, leaving his mark as an architectural patron on Mecca, Medina, Jerusalem, Damascus, Aleppo, Alexandria, and every quarter of Cairo.
  4. Ancient Roman Amphitheater
    2h · Admission ticket included
    The Roman Amphitheatre is one of Alexandria's most popular monuments. This is Egypt's second-most important city, after the capital, Cairo. While the amphitheaters were spread through different countries like Greece, Italy, and Turkey during the reign of the Romans, with many examples of these structures still present in many regions around Europe and the Middle East, the Roman amphitheater of Alexandria is the only one of its type in Egypt.
