The place
Alexandria looks outward to the Mediterranean, carrying traces of Greek, Roman, Egyptian, and modern cosmopolitan life. The essential things to do in Alexandria include the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, Pompey's Pillar, the seaside Qaitbay Citadel where the Pharos lighthouse once stood, and the striking modern Bibliotheca Alexandrina. Much of its ancient city lies beneath today's streets or the sea, making every surviving monument feel especially precious. Between sites, the Corniche, seafood tables, and faded architecture reveal a city shaped as much by memory as by stone.
