Archaeologists believe that the catacomb of Kom el Shoqafa was started in the 2nd century A.D. and was used to intern the dead for the next 200 years. this was a period in the history of the city of Alexandria when there was a great mixture of different cultures. Of course, there was the ancient history of the great Egyptian kingdoms which went back thousands of years
Has nothing to do with Pompey.The story behind the name refers to the possible burial ground of the Roman general when he fled to Egypt and was assassinated after losing a major battle in Greece against Caesar. The red granite column was probably built to honour Emperor Diocletian. Today it stands 25 meters high and is the tallest ancient monument in Alexandria
The Citadel was built in the 15th Century by the Mamlouk Sultan Qeitbay, To Guard the city against the threat of Crusaders, This wonderful Islamic Monument was built by the use of the ruins of the old Lighthouse that was constructed by Ptolemy 11 in 3rd Century A.c. The Lighthouse was damaged during an Earthquake that Occurred in Egypt in 1303 A.c during the reign of the Mamlouk King Qeitbay
The library of Alexandria The Library of Alexandria was reborn in October 2002 to reclaim the mantle of its ancient namesake. It is not just an extraordinarily beautiful building; it is also a vast complex where the arts, history, philosophy, and science come together. Moreover, the myriad activities it offers have made it a place for open discussion, dialogue, and understanding.

Private excursion from Hurhgada to Cairo by plane. Communication was easy, you got a quick response. Jakob picked us up from the airport and we did a city tour. We visited the Egyptian Museum, got a guided tour of the pyramids and a delicious lunch. On requests was received and we were constantly supplied with sufficient water by Jakob. Top tour, always recommendable. Best with Jakob:)

We booked a trip for Cairo, Alexandria and Luxor with Memnon Reisen. The organisers and staff were so much flexible and cooperative in planning our tour from the starting. They tried to help us in such a way so we can use maximum time in our perfect trip. And see maximum places without any hectic schedule. Their both the guides were descriptive in their talks about the places. Their guide Shaima was one of the most amazing guide I have ever met. She took care of us like her children! Unbelievable! She was able to read our eyes, and our smallest gestures. She was highly helpful to us and solved our many issues regarding stay and food. A most committed team with coordination! Travel became a most memorable with them. A lots of thanks. Will always refer our friends as much as possible! Mehulkumar from India.
