Saqqara (Sakkara) Pyramids - Visit the step pyramid of Djoser. A step pyramid is an architectural form that uses flat platforms, or steps, rising from the ground to form a shape similar to a geometric pyramid. These structures are significant in various cultures worldwide, typically large and composed of multiple stone layers. The term refers to pyramids of similar design that developed independently, as there are no definitive links between the civilizations that constructed them.

Alexandria Day Tour

Kayetbai - The Citadel of Qaitbay is a 15th-century defensive fortress on the Mediterranean coast in Alexandria, Egypt. Established in 1477 AD (882 AH) by Sultan Al-Ashraf Sayf al-Din Qa’it Bay, the Citadel is located on the eastern side of the northern tip of Pharos Island at the Eastern Harbour’s entrance.

Pompey’s Pillar - Despite its name, this single column on a rocky hilltop in Alexandria is unrelated to the Roman Consul and General Gaius Pompey. The legend, started by Crusaders, mistakenly linked the 100-foot (30-meter) red Aswan granite pillar to his burial site. Instead, it is a triumphal monument erected around 300 AD for Roman Emperor Diocletian. The site’s true significance lies in the Serapeum, Alexandria’s acropolis.

In the early centuries AD, Christianity was introduced to Egypt, and Alexandria became a stronghold. Over time, Christianity became the dominant religion, marginalizing the ancient traditions and pagan gods.

Bibliotheca Alexandrina - The Great Library of Alexandria was one of the ancient world’s largest and most significant libraries. Part of a larger research institution called the Mouseion, dedicated to the Muses, the library was likely proposed by Demetrius of Phalerum to Ptolemy I Soter and built during Ptolemy II Philadelphus’s reign. It amassed numerous papyrus scrolls due to the Ptolemaic kings’ aggressive acquisition policies. Estimates of the scrolls range from 40,000 to 400,000 at its peak.

Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa - This necropolis features a series of Alexandrian tombs, statues, and archaeological objects from the Pharaonic funeral cult, influenced by Hellenistic and early Imperial Roman styles. The catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa reflect the period’s characteristics.
