Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa
Catacombs of Kom al-Shoqafa, This is the most impressive of Alexandria’s ancient remains, dating from the 2nd century AD. Excavation started in 1892, and the catacombs were discovered accidentally eight years later when a donkey fell through a chamber ceiling. A long spiral staircase leads to the main hall. The stairs run down the outside of a shaft, which excavators used to transport the bodies of the dead. The staircase leads to three floors of Amazing mixed art, Unique example that display's ancient Egyptian mixed with the Greco-Roman art in one place.

Pompey's Pillar
Pompey’s Pillar (Serapium Oracle). Despite being Alexandria’s most famous tourist sight, Pompey’s Pillar is a disappointment. After all, it’s just a granite pillar—albeit at 88 feet, a very tall one placed on a hill surrounded by ruins. the pillar was misnamed after Pompeii's (106—48 Bc) by the Crusaders. In fact, it dates to the 3rd century AD, when i was erected in honor of the emperor Diocletian on the site of a Ptolemaic temple to Serapis. Helpful signs on the ruins name each virtually empty spot as a “pool” or “bath,” which to the untrained eye look like indistinguishable rocks, The late-model sphinxes lying around on pedestals add a little character, The most interesting element, ironically, is that from the hill you can get a glimpse inside the walled cemetery next door, as well as a view of a long and busy market street. & Corner of Amoud El Sawary.

Bibliotheca Alexandrina
The Library of Alexandria’s also know as Bibliotheca Alexandrina, ancient library was one of the greatest of all classical institutions, and while replacing it might seem a Herculean task, the new Bibliotheca Alexandrina manages this with aplomb. Opened in 2002, this impressive piece of modern architecture is a deliberate attempt to rekindle the brilliance of the original center of learning and culture. The complex has become one of Egypt’s major cultural venues and a stage for numerous international performers, and is home to a collection of brilliant museums.
