1. Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa
The Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa are among Alexandria’s most remarkable archaeological treasures and are often regarded as one of the Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages. Dating back to the Roman era, these underground tombs showcase a unique fusion of Egyptian, Greek, and Roman artistic influences. Visitors descend through a remarkable spiral staircase into a vast subterranean necropolis carved deep into the bedrock over 1,800 years ago. Explore ancient burial chambers, impressive statues, and mysterious passageways that reveal the rich cultural heritage of ancient Alexandria. Originally constructed as a family tomb, the site later expanded into one of the largest Roman burial complexes in Egypt. Highlights include beautifully decorated reliefs, fascinating sculptures that blend different artistic traditions, the famous Hall of Caracalla, and a series of funeral chambers filled with history and intrigue

2. Pompey's Pillar
Discover the remarkable Pompey's Pillar, one of Alexandria’s most iconic ancient landmarks and the largest Roman column ever erected outside Rome. Rising nearly 27 meters high, this impressive red granite monument was built in the 3rd century AD to honor the Roman Emperor Diocletian. Located within the archaeological area of the ancient Serapeum of Alexandria, the pillar is surrounded by fascinating ruins, ancient sphinx statues, and remnants of Alexandria’s rich Greek and Roman past. Despite its name, the monument has no historical connection to Pompey the Great.

Explore the citadel’s massive stone walls, defensive towers, and historic chambers while learning about its vital role in protecting Egypt’s northern coast from naval invasions. The fortress represents a masterpiece of Islamic military architecture and remains one of the best-preserved medieval castles in the Middle East. As you walk along the ramparts, enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea, Alexandria’s harbor, and the city’s picturesque coastline.
