Alexandria Attractions
Alexandria, also known as the Pearl of the Mediterranean, is a city rich in history and culture. One of its emblematic places is the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, which is a modern restoration of the ancient library, containing millions of books and probably one of the most sophisticated planetariums today.
The Citadel of Qaitbay is a 15th-century military fortress erected on top of the old Lighthouse of Alexandria and overlooking the sea. Among the attractions that one can take during the Alexandria day tour is the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, a notable site indicating the unique fusion of the Pharaohs, Greeks, and Romans in their burial practices.
The Roman Amphitheater is an example of a Roman monument. This is an example of one of the serene locations in Alexandria with beautiful green gardens and views of the Mediterranean Montazah Palace Gardens. Egypt tour visitors are encouraged to see other places that reflect the cosmopolitan spirit of Alexandria, such as its bustling markets, cozy cafes, and long waterfront promenade.
