Catacombes de Kom el Shoqafa
The Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, located in Alexandria, are one of the most important archaeological sites in Egypt. Built in the 2nd century AD, they served as a family tomb during the Roman period and were later expanded.
The site features a spiral staircase, funeral banquet hall (triclinium), and beautifully carved sarcophagi and statues that blend Egyptian gods, Roman dress, and Greek art. The carvings show gods like Anubis dressed as Roman soldiers, reflecting the cultural fusion of the time.
Rediscovered in 1900 when a donkey fell into the shaft, the catacombs were later restored. Today, they attract tourists for their unique mix of architecture, history, and mystery.

La colonne de Pompée
Pompey's Pillar is a famous Roman monument in Alexandria, Egypt. It stands about 26.85 meters (88 feet) tall and was built in 297 AD to honor Emperor Diocletian for saving the city during a rebellion.
Despite its name, it has nothing to do with Pompey the Great. The pillar is made of red granite from Aswan and is one of the largest ancient monoliths still standing. It was once part of a grand temple known as the Serapeum, dedicated to the Greco-Egyptian god Serapis.
Today, it’s one of Alexandria’s top landmarks, offering insight into the city’s Roman history.

château de Kaytbay
The Citadel of Qaitbey, built in 1477 AD by Sultan Qaitbey, is a historic fortress located at the tip of Pharos Island in Alexandria. It was constructed to defend the city from naval threats and stands where the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria once stood.
The citadel features thick stone walls, watchtowers, and panoramic sea views. Some stones from the ruined lighthouse were used in its construction. Today, it’s a major tourist attraction, offering a mix of Islamic military architecture and rich coastal history.
