Théâtre romain antique, Alexandrie
Starts with pickup from Alexandria by our expert Tour guide then start your Full Day tour visiting the best sites in Alexandria.
start your day Tour there Visiting The Roman Theater Roman theatres derive from and are part of the overall evolution of earlier Greek theatres. Much of the architectural influence on the Romans came from the Greeks, and theatre structural design was no different from other buildings. However, Roman theatres have specific differences, such as generally being built upon their own foundations instead of earthen works or a hillside and being completely enclosed on all sides. Roman theatres were built in all areas of the Empire, from Spain to the Middle East. Because of the Romans' ability to influence local architecture, we see numerous theatres around the world with uniquely Roman attributes.

château de Kaytbay
La citadelle de Qaitbay est l'un des forts les plus importants de la côte méditerranéenne. Le sultan mamelouk al-Ashraf Abu al-Nasr Qaitbay la construisit entre 882 H (1477 apr. J.-C.) et 884 (1479 apr. J.-C.) sur les ruines du phare d'Alexandrie. Elle servait de défense à Alexandrie contre les attaques navales.
La citadelle était construite en calcaire et s'étendait sur une superficie d'environ 17 550 m². Un mur extérieur, percé de tours de défense, entoure le bâtiment.
Un mur intérieur entoure la cour de la citadelle et comprend plusieurs pièces, certaines servant de casernes, d'autres de stockage.
L'entrée de la citadelle mène à la cour où se trouve la tour principale, située au nord-ouest. Il s'agit d'un imposant fort carré de trois étages. Ses quatre angles sont occupés par des tours semi-circulaires dotées de balcons en saillie pour la défense de la ville. Un réservoir près de la tour approvisionnait les soldats et leurs chevaux en eau.

Bibliothèque d'Alexandrie
The Bibliotheca Alexandrina (Latin, 'Library of Alexandria';[1] Egyptian Arabic: مكتبة الإسكندرية, romanized: Maktabet al-Eskendereyya, pronounced [mækˈtæb(e)t eskendeˈɾejjæ]) (BA) is a major library and cultural center on the shore of the Mediterranean Sea in Alexandria, Egypt. It is a commemoration of the Library of Alexandria, once one of the largest libraries worldwide, which was lost in antiquity. The idea of reviving the old library dates back to 1974 when a committee set up by Alexandria University selected a plot of land for its new library. Construction work began in 1995, and after some US$220 million had been spent, the complex was officially inaugurated on 16 October 2002. In 2009, the library received a donation of 500,000 books from the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF). The gift makes the Bibliotheca Alexandrina the sixth-largest Francophone library in the world.
The library has shelf space for eight million books, with the main reading room.

Catacombes de Kom el Shoqafa
The catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa meaning is a historical archaeological site located in Alexandria, Egypt, and is considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages.
The necropolis consists of a series of Alexandrian tombs, statues and archaeological objects of the Pharaonic funerary cult with Hellenistic and early Imperial Roman influences. Due to the time period, many of the features of the catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa merge Roman, Greek and Egyptian cultural points; some statues are Egyptian in style, yet bear Roman clothes and hair style whilst other features share a similar style. A circular staircase, which was often used to transport deceased bodies down the middle of it, leads down into the tombs that were tunneled into the bedrock during the age of the Antonine emperors (2nd century CE). The facility was then used as a burial chamber from the 2nd century to the 4th century, before being rediscovered in 1900 when a donkey accidentally fell into the access shaft.

Mosquée d'Abou al-Abbas al-Mursi
The Abu al-Abbas al-Mursi Mosque is an Egyptian mosque in the city of Alexandria. The historic mosque is named after the 13th century mystic Abu'l Abbas al-Mursi, who is also buried in the same place along with members of the Ashraf family.
Abul Abbas al-Mursi died in 1286 and was buried in a small cemetery within the locality of Bab al-Bahr. Later, a small qubba was built over it, which was developed into a shrine. In 1307, a mosque was built over the shrine, with funding from Zain al-Din al-Qattan, a merchant and Sufi shaykh of Alexandria. The Mamluk emir of Alexandria then rebuilt the mosque in 1477.
In 1934, King Fouad I ordered the construction of a mosque square with a capacity of about 3,200 square metres, to include the mosque-shrines of Al-Busiri and Yaqut al-Arshy, with the mosque of Abu Al-Abbas Al-Mursi standing in the middle. The building was then renovated and extensively rebuilt.
