While it was largely destroyed by the Romans in 391 CE, a quantity of of the original items are left on the location such as Pompey’s Pillar, which is framed by two giant sphinxes. In the previous, the temple was also one of the most important annexes of the Great Library of Alexandria. The Serapeum is certainly worth a visit as a result of its historic importance and the attractive location.

The assertion of Greek culture serves to implement Egyptian subjection. So the presence in Alexandria of two establishments dedicated to the preservation and research of Greek tradition acts as a strong symbol of Egyptian exclusion and subjection.

For divers, Alexandria offers a singular alternative to dive amid the toppled statues and colomns of the ancient city.

Fort Qaitbey was constructed by Mamluke Sultan Qaitbey in an effort to fortify this essential Egyptian port from attack, and rubble from the toppled lighthouse was utilized in its building.

Both sea-front rooms and public areas are filled with old style appeal. For non-religious visitors, the mosque’s beautiful facade of swirling Islamic calligraphy designs and motifs is the main draw-card. Today, the palace is utilized by the Egyptian navy, which suggests its glorious interiors are out of bounds to casual visitors, however the monumental white facade, greatest seen from the harbor waters, is a must-see. The floor floor’s displays of statuary and artifacts from the underwater archaeological explorations of the sunken port metropolis of Heracleion-Thonis in Aboukir Bay, are the museum’s main highlight. These have been once the grandest addresses on the town, and both characteristic in Lawrence Durrell’s classic Alexandria Quartet novels set in the city. The Cecil, in its hey-day, is also well-known for playing host to mystery creator Agatha Christie, the British Secret Service and Winston Churchill during WWII, and Egypt’s beloved singer Umm Khalthoum.
