• Fort Qaitbey - Across from the fort lies the corniche and the old harbor, where visitors can observe traditional fishing boats, fishermen casting their lines, and artisans crafting nets. The photographs captured here are truly stunning. Continue to explore the Qaitbay Castle, constructed on the site of the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. This magnificent castle offers a fantastic photo opportunity. The Citadel of Qaitbay, built in 1447 AD, was designed to protect Alexandria from medieval invaders.

• Pompey’s Pillar - A colossal 30-meter column towers over the remnants of the illustrious ancient settlement of Rhakotis, the original township from which Alexandria expanded. Known as Pompey’s Pillar for centuries, this column, carved from red Aswan granite, has been a prominent city landmark. A single tapered shaft, measuring 2.7 meters at its base and topped with a fine Corinthian capital, the column rises from the Serapeum, a magnificent structure that once stood here in ancient times.

• Bibliotheca Alexandrina - The ancient Library of Alexandria was one of the greatest classical institutions, and while replacing it might seem a daunting task, the new Bibliotheca Alexandrina accomplishes this with grace. Opened in 2002, this remarkable piece of modern architecture is a deliberate effort to revive the brilliance of the original center of learning and culture. The complex has become one of Egypt’s major cultural venues, hosting numerous international performers and housing a collection of outstanding museums.

• Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa - Discovered accidentally in 1900 when a donkey fell through the ground, the Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa represent the largest known Roman burial site in Egypt and one of the last major constructions dedicated to the ancient Egyptian religion. They showcase Alexandria’s hallmark fusion of Pharaonic and Greek styles. The architect employed a Greco-Roman approach, with the catacombs consisting of three tiers of tombs and chambers carved into bedrock to a depth of 35 meters (the bottom level is flooded and inaccessible).
