Here’s a list of our top favourite things to do on your Alexandria holidays –

Bibliotheca Alexandrina

This is Alexandria’s great ancient library reimagined that contains many museums, as well as one of the modern world’s most ambitious libraries. You will be awe-struck with its architecture — a giant sun disk that presides over the waterfront Corniche.

The huge reading room can hold eight million volumes. Do not miss out on The Manuscript Museum, with its magnificent collection of ancient texts and scrolls. Head to the Antiquities Museum for its Greco-Roman antiquities and statuary.

Alexandria National Museum

Alexandria’s National Museum is a must-stop for history lovers! You have the enticing collection from the Pharaonic era, Hellenistic heyday, Byzantine and Islamic periods and excellent map drawings that imagine what the classical city of Alexandria would have looked like.

Fort Qaitbey

We suggest you to walk the long shore-front Corniche road to visit Fort Qaitbey. This was once the site of the mighty Pharos Lighthouse — one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Explore the series of stone-walled chambers and climb up to the roof to look out over the Mediterranean.

Corniche

This will be hard to miss! Visit downtown Alexandria’s wide waterfront road where you get the real feel for the era of cosmopolitan elegance and decadence.

Kom El-Dikka

This is a cluster of ancient ruins including a small Roman theatre, a Ptolemaic temple, and the Roman-era dwelling now known as the Villa of the Birds.

Pompey’s Pillar

This lies in the Carmous (in the southwest of the city), which is basically a hill littered with the remains of ancient walls, architectural fragments, and rubble.
