In the catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, you can find artifacts from many different times that have been kept in great shape. Some of these things are ancient Egyptian and Roman tomb inscriptions. In the year 1900, a donkey accident led to the discovery of carved tombs and burial chambers in a cave.
2. Fort Qaitbey
then you will visit Fort Qaitbey . Sultan Qaitbey built this picturesque fortress during the 14th century to defend Alexandria from the advances of the Ottoman Empire. His efforts were in vain since the Ottomans took control of Egypt in 1512, but the fortress has remained, strategically located on a thin arm of land that extends out into Alexandria’s harbor from the corniche. The fortress’ current form is not the original. It was heavily damaged during the British bombardment of Alexandria during a nationalist uprising against British hegemony in 1882 and rebuilt around the turn of the 20th century

Moreover, it not composed of drums. It indeed is one of the largest ancient monoliths. Moreover, it is also one of the largest monolithic columns which ever erected.
4. Bibliotheca Alexandrina
Then you will go ahead with your guide to Alexandria’s ancient library which was one of the greatest of all classical institutions, and while replacing it might seem a Herculean task, the new Bibliotheca Alexandrina manages this with aplomb. Opened in 2002, this impressive piece of modern architecture is a deliberate attempt to rekindle the brilliance of the original centre of learning and culture. The complex has become one of Egypt’s major cultural venues and a stage for numerous international performers, and is home to a collection of brilliant museums. You will visit president Saddat Museum and impressions of Alexandria Museum.
5.

There is a collection which covers the period from the 3rd BC to 7th AC centuries. It indeed is a fascinating record of Civilization .

Happy with this tour, glad I chose it over others. I researched a lot and this one had the best reviews and I could see why.
We got picked up from our hotel at 8 in the morning and we got to Alexandria at around 11.
We met Soha there, our guide who is like a walking encyclopaedia when it comes to Egyptian history. We learned a lot, had a nice lunch and generally had a good time.
Khaled drove us back to Cairo and he somehow made us feel safe in that car, although the traffic in Cairo is something completely insane, complete madness, I don’t know how he did it.
