A Must-Visit attraction in Alexandria, Global level design & innovation, great organization & service, extremely helpful staff at every corner, truly an unforgettable experience! Because of the constant stream of tourists & organized trips, they ask you to wear masks upon entry as well as see a vaccination card (a photo of it is ok as well), other than that everything went smoothly, the staff will keep you posted on instructions as you go. So many amazing things to see from original Antiquities, Scrolls, & Sculptures to modern artworks from renowned & emerging artists alike, the planetarium holds unique shows around the clock, you’ll never run out of things to see & experience!💜🤌

The Alexandria Library is an incredible destination that seamlessly blends history and modern knowledge. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to this renowned library, which also houses captivating museums within its premises. The library's impressive architecture pays tribute to the ancient library that once stood in Alexandria, creating a captivating atmosphere. Exploring the Alexandria Library and its accompanying museums was a delight. From the vast collection of books and resources to the fascinating exhibits in the museums, there was so much to discover. It's worth setting aside a few hours to fully immerse oneself in the wealth of knowledge and exhibits available. Whether you're a book lover, history enthusiast, or simply curious about Egypt's cultural heritage, the Alexandria Library is a must-visit destination that promises a rewarding and intellectually stimulating experience.

It's one of the landmarks of Alexandria. It's one of the largest libraries of the ancient world, has books, computers to work with and museums, photographs, sculptures etc. The library is huge, feels very open inside. Enjoyed the visit, though not much to do as a tourist.

Absolutely incredible place! I really envy the students who get to study here on daily basis. I wish I had something like this in my city in my childhood, I would have never left it!

The largest reading hall i the world. Its a silent and powerful place at the same time. If you love history, books and architecture this is the place to start your Time in Alex. With multiple levels and sections on digital media, museum, supercomputing and books. Must visit when in Alexandria. Very lively place and amazing vibe around. Filled with laughter, happiness and knowledge.if your looking for a coffee place around, head to equador coffee which is a straight 500 mtrs from exit yard.

One of my favourite museums I’ve ever visited; it’s one of the ancient wonders of the world and is truly remarkable. The library is modern built on the same site location as the old one. It’s got lots to see and do as well has several museums located inside. It’s definitely worth visiting and something you wouldn’t want to miss when visiting Alexandria. I would love to go back someday.

A wonderful place, probably my favorite place in Alexandria and one of my favorites in Egypt, it’s truly spectacular and a treasury for so many books and artifacts, it has multiple museums, exhibitions and sections, it has a planetarium as well and multiple cafes, the Sadat museum and manuscripts museum were my favorites in the library, i highly recommend visiting it.

A must-visit because it's the Library of Alexandria! Thoughtfulness with its construction and a beautiful interior and exterior! The tour was more targeted to showcasing what exhibits and technology the library has to offer so if that's not what you're looking for it's probably easiest to just explore on your own 9/10

Personally i enjoyed the library a lot. Other than the fact that it stands where once the great library was, it is full of things to see from art pieces to exhibitions and of course a great deal of books. It is well secured and walking among the shelves in the quiet was so nice

What a wonderful place! I haven't visited Alexandria library in 15 years and today, I reignited the love I have for Alexandria with all its historical monuments and knowledge held in the library! It's truly a must-see!

It's a super great breathtaking library, it was a dream come true for me to visit it! The vibe is mixed, it's mostly a touristy library more than a real place to set and study, the visitors "tourists" voices are laud at the high levels of the library, but it gets quieter and quieter as you go down all the way to the "maps section". There's quite area that's useful if you want to focus on your work/studying at the "art section".. Away from the touristy area. Overall, I loved the place, and I'm definitely coming again, it's a must visit destination in Egypt !

It is difficult to find words to describe the architecture of the Library of Alexandria, as well as its facade, which has almost all the alphabets of the world. And you don't have a sense of how big it is until you come near it. Places with so much historical importance, one of the sights for which Alexandria is famous in the world. Unfortunately, it was Friday and we couldn't go inside, but there will be an opportunity.

Tourist trap. Unfortunately, although we had high expectations for this library, we were really disappointed. To begin with, we were surprised that it cost so much to enter (just to look around and not even to go into the museum, which apparently requires a separate fee). The structure itself is interesting from an architectural standpoint, but it seems to be poorly maintained and is already showing significant wear despite being relatively new. Also, almost every single staff member we interacted with (particularly the security at the entrance/exit) was obnoxiously rude. I guess it’s an important site to see while in Alexandria, but I wouldn’t get your hopes up too much.

Stopped by to see the library. Easy to enter and cute gift shop. Library is modern with amazing art inside. Enjoyed the printing press and shroud on display. Some areas not accessible to tourists.

A nice place the visit but opening hours need to be posted online in addition to instructions about children below 4 are not allowed. Other than that the museums are interesting and educative.

A must-see in Alexandria. Super impressive building - the library itself and the museums. Plenty of students. Guides available in various languages. Don't miss it!

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Alexandria Bibliotheca, one of the most renowned libraries in the world located in Alexandria, Egypt. As a bibliophile and history enthusiast, I was eager to explore this iconic institution known for its rich collection of ancient and modern knowledge. Upon arriving at the Bibliotheca, I was struck by the grandeur of its architecture. The building's sleek, modern design seamlessly integrates with its surroundings, paying homage to the ancient Library of Alexandria while embracing contemporary aesthetics. The exterior features expansive glass facades that reflect the azure hues of the Mediterranean Sea, creating a stunning visual juxtaposition against the city's bustling streets. Stepping inside, I was immediately enveloped by the tranquil ambiance of the library's interior. The spacious atrium is adorned with marble floors and soaring columns, evoking a sense of reverence for the pursuit of knowledge. The Bibliotheca boasts an impressive array of exhibits, showcasing artifacts and manuscripts from various periods of Egypt's illustrious history. From ancient scrolls to modern literature, the collection offers a comprehensive glimpse into the evolution of human thought and creativity. One of the highlights of my visit was the Antiquities Museum, where I marveled at artifacts dating back to the time of the Pharaohs. The exhibits are meticulously curated, providing valuable insights into Egypt's rich cultural heritage. Additionally, the Manuscript Museum offers a rare opportunity to view ancient texts and documents, including some of the oldest surviving copies of the Quran and the Bible. The Bibliotheca boasts state-of-the-art facilities tailored to the needs of scholars and researchers. The reading rooms are equipped with comfortable seating and ample desk space, creating an ideal environment for study and contemplation. Additionally, the library offers a range of amenities, including a cafeteria, gift shop, and conference rooms, ensuring a pleasant and fulfilling experience for visitors of all ages. In conclusion, my visit to the Alexandria Bibliotheca was an enriching and unforgettable experience. From its stunning architecture to its unparalleled collection of knowledge, the library stands as a beacon of enlightenment and cultural exchange. Whether you're a history buff, a literature enthusiast, or simply curious about the world, a visit to the Bibliotheca is sure to inspire and captivate. I highly recommend adding it to your list of must-see destinations.

Alexandria Bibliotheca is a must-visit gem in Alexandria, Egypt, boasting stunning architecture and a vast collection of books and multimedia resources. Admission requires a ticket of approximately 150 Egyptian pounds. Keep in mind that as it's utilized by nearby university students, access to certain library sections may be limited.

It is one of my favorite libraries building around the world. The place an architectural gem. It is the perfect place. In reality, it has 6 medium museums inside the library, greatful I spent 3 weeks visiting the Library on a regular basis.

Egypt's Library of Alexandria was one of the largest and most important of the libraries of the ancient world. This place is currently used as a modern library and has a very large area, besides there are also areas displaying Egyptian antiquities.

Beautiful palace & surrounding gardens, although there were renovations there, the place is still open to spend time in the finished areas which are beautiful & clean. We paid 25 LE per person upon entry & they tell you in advance that it’s unfinished & construction work is still being done there, however we had a great time there! Will definitely be coming back to see the whole place when it’s finished.

After the renovations, the park has become truly a masterpiece, sweeter and much larger than the first one. The sea there is mind-blowing and the view of the palace is clear from anywhere there. The place remains very spacious and there are no cars inside, so it is very safe for children. I recommend it to all of my friends 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

You can tell this place was beautiful and after the construction is done I'm sure it will be again, but you might want to avoid it until they are done. The walking paths are all dug up right now.

The place is being renovated and the final result still unclear. I don't like the parking lot (modern like an airport) . It is at odds of the place architecture (in my opinion).other parts are tasteful in their construction. With European rooftop and same colors as the places in the garden. They really should build all new building like that to preserve the place historical architecture. Don't visit now , is fare from ready for visitors.(2023).still, there are one coffee \ restaurant on the beach next to Palestine's hotel.

One of the most beautiful in Alex, you must visit this palace when you are in Alex. There are too many gardens, artificial lakes , a beaches, tea island and the bridge of tea island,too many wonderful buildings the belongs to the palace As I type this review, the palace is under maintenance and being renewed

Newly renovated, nice and clean park. The place has potential. I suggest to put garbage bin in every 3km of the park to maintain the cleanliness and the people wont drop a litter anywhere.

We stayed in Royal Helnan hotel (Palestine hotel) for a long weekend. The location is magnificent. We enjoyed very much the view from our terrace, the spacious rooms we had and the excellent services.

The palace is closed (and rather will be) for visits. However, it's also interesting from outside and the park is great. Actually, differentiated areas, like a conglomerate of many parks. Quite an area to walk. Sea breeze, areas to relax, particularly beautiful when not crowded (crowded on Fridays and public holidays; unfortunately, sea of trash after the public holiday). Picturesque bridge, small "forests", a lot of grass, and a nice park around the pond (this one with more concrete). Many areas at the very sea shore - not available. An escape from the reality of every-day Egypt.

Childhood memories in one place The best and the biggest garden in Alexandria it was full of green areas all family members really enjoy the beauty of nature, green areas, sea view and also Montaza palace where it was owned by King Farouk … now it’s under construction but really wanted to share some pics of the old Montaza that we used to know and love the most

I didnt know they were going through renovations, so we had to take a golfcart to tour around. However the place is beautiful and probably would be crowded once the renovations are done. The hotel inside is simply beautiful but a bit overpriced. The King's castle is closed as it is now residential for the head of the republic.

The place still have alot of construction work going on so we had to walk for too long to find a place to settle, newly created areas like the lake area although looks nice is very unclean and not cared after with alot of garbage in the water but other than that it has large green areas for a nice walk or picnic

You cannot enter but there’s a little park close by which is very nice to check out, the palace itself has very cool architecture on the exterior. I can only image what the interior looks like. Go to check it out but not in the hopes of entering as I think it’s closed off to the public. Check before you go. But if you’re interested in just seeing the palace it’s a nice area to visit and I would recommend it.

Beautiful massive land with gardens. Seaside view and massive cycling track. We cycled around the place and had a good time. Entry fee for foreigners is 25LE. There is also the Montaza hotel within the area

Montaza Palace, palace and museum. It is located in the center of Alexandria, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Unfortunately, you cannot enter the palace, but you can really enjoy the royal garden, which is impossible to describe in words. Everything is so neat, clean, beautiful. And if the expectations were that the palace and the park would be beautiful, the reality surpassed all expectations, the most beautiful thing in Alexandria. You can easily spend the whole day here, walking, enjoying the seaside, lying under the date palms.

Really nice escape from the noise and chaos of Alexandria. It’s a lil outside the main tourist area, but a quick (and cheap) Uber ride away and def worth the trip. The palace itself isn’t open to the public, but the grounds are really well laid out and nice to walk through. Bikes are also available to rent at the entrance, but it’s small enough that you can walk around the entire palace in less than an hour. Docking one star bc the landscaping could be better maintained (especially around the entrance). Highly recommend if you’re visiting Alexandria.

Well what to say about this place and gardens. Yes ostentatious but I would not mind owning it. It was originally built as a hunting lodge for the Khedive Abbas II of Egypt in the first half of the 20th century. The palace complex includes expansive gardens, beaches, and a number of buildings, including the Salamlek Palace and the Al-Haramlik Palace, which are both part of the Montaza Palace complex. Worth wandering around as the gardens and views are very nice a bit like my own garden at home.

Loved how the Egyptians maintained their heritage in a perfect shape The gardens, King's farouq mansion, and all its facilties. Highly recommend to visit.

The Montaza was a beautiful experience. However, the inconvenience of not being able to drive around and having to rely on golf carts or walking detracted from the overall experience. Additionally, parts of the park being closed due to renovations, with no reopening until June, was disappointing.

Lovely palaces with green area around, tea place is a great corner to chill at while overlooking the sea. Many parts were still under construction, parking available Public bathroom needs more attention Palaces are not available to visit from the inside. And yet, I still prefer the old setup.

Very beautiful palace with lovely gardens and a seaside walk. There's plenty of things to do, such as renting bikes, having picnics, and making use of the basketball court. I would recommend this to anyone staying in Alex. I took off one star because the maintenance isn't perfect, and some of the sidewalks aren't clean with piles of dirt and leaf debris laying about. Please be careful riding the bicycles, too, as some of the designated paths are a little steep and could pose potential hazards.

It is worth visiting and enjoying a historic monument and know more about royal Egypt. Great improvement in the parking area, you have to pay 25 L.E per person for entrance and 50 to park your car and more if you decide to take a golf cart to where you desire to go. The place is still under experimental opening after improvement, so missing a lot with regards to cleanliness, no rubbish bins so people throw garbage almost everywhere, no signs to. Guide you where to go and no map, and similarly no one to ask in most places. Lighting in some places is not functional or missing though new!!! Hopefully in the future it would be a better experience

It costs 25egp pp. It’s quite a walk to reach the palace. Once there, it’s located on a beatiful site right next to the Mediterranean. A large yellow-coloured palace with magnificent views befitting for the last king of Egypt, King Farouk. The outer grounds are huge with scattered trees for shade. Sadly, it was entirely littered and it seemed it was simply mowed over, which was surprising being part of the palace grounds.

Still under finishing works, can't get inside the building. Come during September - end of October to see hanging ripe dates fruit in its vast garden. Bicycle rental

A nice place to spend time and Walk around but definitely never go during a weekend or public holiday

It is a historical place, where various classes of mummies were preserved and found. The place is just maintained satisfactorily, however, is just another burial site of ancient egyptians. Unless you are an archeologist and have a thing for such sites, do visit but for normal tourists it may not look too fancy. The guides are good and will explain a lot about it but overall there are other places more historically important in Alexandria to visit.

Very interesting and should be on your list while visiting Alexandria. They have added wooden steps to make it easier to navigate. Make sure to come with a guide if you want to learn the history.

One of the best historical places to visit in Alexandria. It's a real gem, unexpected. The visit takes 40-45mins. Car parking available and toilet as well at the entrance. Some tombs are decorated with beautiful statues, and animals. There are lots of steps, but it is not a difficult visit. The ceiling is very high. Beautiful place

Go down their mini tunnel. It was fun. Kids will definitely love to explore the tiny tunnel. Explore every aspect of this place and imagine how burials were booked before ones death...interesting!

One of my best experiences whilst visiting Alexandria! We have a great tour guide. He’s an old lad usually by the entrance - clad in a suit and tie. Unfortunate he doesn’t use mobile gadgets else I would have shared his number. Now, back to the Catacombs review - these tombs are underground; carved into stone. From above you can never tell there are tombs underneath! Absolutely amazing. It’s a blend of Egyptian, Roman and Greek beliefs!

A great place to visit! I went there alone and very much enjoyed it; however, I would definitely recommend going with a tour guide since there is no one to show you around especially if you go down into the tombs. I almost got lost underground. Beware of the scammer police officer! I thought he was kind enough to show me around since I was alone but he demanded money and when I gave him some he demanded even more! I rushed through the place just to get rid of him.

A small sight with an interesting story about how it was discovered....by accident! Well preserved and with very different history than most other sights. Would recommend at least 2 hours if you want to immerse yourself otherwise 1 should be fine.

The Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa is the best place to visit in Alexandria. The tombs were supposed to be built by a single wealthy Roman family, considered as one of the “Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages”. The tombs were built deep under the ground, has three levels of burial chambers around a spiral staircase. It has a large number of graves of human and animals. It has many figures carved on wall. A very unique experience visiting the place.

Pretty cool! The main attraction is the catacomb structure itself. Interesting to see the ancient burial complex. It's too bad that more Egyptians don't go see this place. It's one of those jewels that's not well known.

Unless you come with a tour guide, and depending on the guide, you might not get much learnings from the site. There aren’t many plaques with information. What is interesting is that this was a Roman temple built for a rich family, and it was build mixing ancient Egyptian with Roman. It is interesting. On the contrary to catacombs in Europe, it hasn’t any bones, just a crate with horse bones.

The catacombs of Kom el are worth a visit. Be prepared to spend some time really visiting the whole place. It has a history of Grecian, Roman as well as Egyptian.

Fascinating catacombs and a fun place to explore. Some areas are more accessible than others, we avoided the areas where there was a lot of crouching involved. The main, and most beautifully decorated tomb is easy to get to, as are several side caverns full of rock cut cubbies and an area for feasting. Take your time, it is a peaceful and pleasant place to explore. The areasurrounding the catacombs is full of artifacts and above ground burial chambers. The huge stone fountain and several other stone monuments are worth checking out.

A multi story underground building comprising of dozens of interlinked chambers with magnificent art work which are much easier to explore as compared to the narrow passageways of the Pyramids. Equally good and easy for all age groups.

Was a small and manageable space, went with my son and it was quite impressive in terms of the sheer amount of graves in the single space and how they’ve dug them out was quite interesting. It’s a fair way out of the city centre and not advisable to go with an Uber as it took 20-30min to find one. Would suggest private driver or tour company.

Quite an interesting place - lots of steps down to the bottom. One area we did not go in because of the low ceiling. It is 150EGP visa only entry fee

The Catacombs of Egypt are a fascinating historical site that offers visitors a glimpse into ancient Egyptian burial practices and beliefs. Located in Alexandria, Kom el Shoqafa, is the underground burial complex and are steeped in history and intrigue. Dating back to the Greco-Roman period of Egyptian history, the catacombs served as burial sites for wealthy and influential individuals, as well as members of the royal family. These underground tombs feature intricate carvings, elaborate frescoes, and stunning architectural details that showcase the craftsmanship and artistry of the ancient Egyptians. This vast underground complex consists of multiple levels and chambers, with labyrinthine passageways leading to beautifully decorated tombs and sarcophagi. Visitors can explore the catacombs and marvel at the intricate artworks and inscriptions that adorn the walls, providing insight into ancient Egyptian religious beliefs and funerary practices. In addition to its historical significance, the Catacombs of Egypt also offer visitors a unique opportunity to learn about the cultural and religious traditions of ancient Egypt. Guided tours are available at many of the sites, providing visitors with informative insights into the history and significance of the catacombs. Overall, a visit to the Catacombs of Egypt is a must for anyone interested in ancient history, archaeology, or Egyptology. These underground burial complexes offer a fascinating glimpse into the lives and beliefs of the ancient Egyptians and provide a unique and memorable experience for visitors to Egypt.

A great site to see in Alexandria. About 99 steps down. Great designs in the wall and cool to visit the empty tombs. Not super big but very affordable.

Definitely a must visit the catacombs are very well preserved and beautiful, although not for people with claustrophobia as the name suggests they are underground with fairly small doorways and openings. The one thing that I would add is getting a guide along as there aren't any available at the site unlike most other locations also there aren't any shops in the event you want a drink or a light snack.

The catacombs itself is a very interesting place. But you just enter and walk on your own, no information provided at all. The area around the catacombs is not clean and tidy. Considering the fact that it's one of the top ten things to do in Alexandria, it definitely needs an upgrade, proper clean-up and more information about the place.

Unexpectedly interecting place in the middle of the ordinary life. Recommened to visit! 25-30 min + way there and back. Be prepared for waiting Uber back longer than in the city center (up to 25 min). Only cards to buy tickets.

Excellent archeological spot... Lots of history involved... The structure built entirely below ground level is itself a wonder..

A quick trip to Catacombs, and we were not disappointed. We had an amazing tour guide who gave us a lot of the pre-history in the car on our way there. Known as one of the 7 ancient wonders and discovered by a donkey, we were very excited to see how vast it was. On arrival, we got tickets at the gate and walked right in. Staff at the gate were very friendly. Once in, we started our journey down (there were a lot of steps, so we will highly recommend comfortable shoes). The tombs were still in very good condition and lots of light everywhere, which made it less scary. Would highly recommend you take some water with you as coming back up was a good cardio session. Won't recommend the Catacombs for anyone who is claustrophobic, but for everyone else, please visit if you are in Alexandria.

Beautiful archaeological site where you can see the underground Catacombs and smell the incredible history! The only flaw like all sites in Egypt is the poor care. To visit

Easily accessible by tram from mansheya. Quiet place to visit, very clean. Small cafe on site and decent toilets. Friendly staff and a good place for a walk. There are a few underground galleries beneath the site, a bit dim in places but a phone torch helped.

Nice sight if you are in Alexandria. Most of the buildings is gone but the main pillar is outstanding in the middle of the area, giving an idea of the engineering techniques and greatness of that period.

Very lovely area to explore, this pillar is massive and is surrounded by various ruins and other little statues and monuments. It is very well preserved and maintained, I was with a local tour guide who explained the history and showed me around the site. I enjoyed my time here and would recommend visiting this beautiful place.

My family visited this place with a tour guide. It is a nice place to visit while in Alexandria. Beautiful sceneries surrounded with many ancient remains.

This was once a temple dedicated for Serapis. Over time, a church was constructed and I think also a mosque. All of them were demolished unfortunately due to natural causes. Now its just the ruins. At the center, you see a big pillar called Pompey's pillar even though it doesn't seem to be constructed for hime

There is a boom in the residential area. Even if you don't enter the park, you can see the exterior to some extent. To be honest, it's not enough to go inside. By the way, I recommend walking to here or looking around. The surrounding residential neighborhoods felt representative of reality.

Path ways need to be made safer. From rickety bridges crossing holes, to bannisters on stairs not good for touching let alone helping you get up or down them. Random bits of broken “finds” just everywhere not really on display but more “in storage”

Ok place with great history as Microsoft Monica said. Pompey's Pillar is a historical site located in Alexandria, Egypt. It is a Roman triumphal column, which stands at around 25 meters (82 feet) tall and is made of red Aswan granite. The pillar is one of the largest of its kind and is believed to have been built to honor the Roman Emperor Diocletian. I

Very beautiful historical site, it was once the great Serapeum of Alexandria with the famous Pompey’s Pillar, the site is Greco-Roman and full with history that shows us how great this site was in its golden times, there are also an underground remains of the small library of Alexandria(the smaller version of the famous great one), and also an underground sanctuary with a replica statue of Apis bull, overall it was a very nice attraction and worth checking out.

Very great place to connect to little but huge parts of ancient history. If you like to explore, you will love this!

Our guide added a lot to the experience, explaining the Roman’s fascination with ancient Egypt. Many of the sculptures are of ancient Egyptian origin and were transported there from other sites by the Romans. The subterranean library and sanctuary were especially interesting to see.

The huge granite column with the 2 sphinxes is very beautiful, it makes you think of how it once was in its grandeur. The 2 underground excavations are suggestive.

Was cute..not much there but the underground stuff was well hidden. Worthwhile thing to do while visiting the catacombs nearby.

It was very nice and the open space with this amount of vegetation is very relaxing and the landmarks impressed me, reccomended

This is an amazing place, probably top 1 thing to see in Alexandria. It is crazy to even imagine how they dug this deep and were able to carve reliefs out of the walls.

Serapeum of Alexandria, also one of the must-see ancient sites, do not miss it if you are visiting Alexandria. Tickets are paid by card, and it is recommended to arrive early, especially if you are in the summer months. A nice path for walking around the site, enjoying the architecture and admiring the building skills of such a distant period.

The Pompey's Pillar, is one of major landmarks of Alexandria. The Pillar was built by the Romans in the third century AD, from red granite. Unfortunately it's surroundings are not maintained properly.

It has improved since I was last there, they have included a very nice walkway around the site, although it is already in slight disrepair. This site is not as impressive as some of the other ruins in Alexandria, but it is definitely worth a visit. We were pressed for time and didn't get to explore some of the areas, apparently there is an excavation that leads to some underground areas, we didn't check it out.

A hidden gem in the middle of a busy area. This roman complex has more ruins and artifacts than I have seen at many other places. The white and red ruins look pretty nice. Entrance is not expensive. However, you need to research the place before you go. There is limited-to-no guides or explanations of what the items represent. Some areas are not well kept but overall it is in a good shape. The guards, police and employees were very professional.

Very beautiful Roman ruins, they are in okay condition. Still very nice to see, I went with a tour guide which made the experience much more enjoyable, it’s a nice historical site to see. Not too far away from the pillars of Pompey. I really enjoyed my time here, if you like historical site and seeing ancient ruins. I would definitely recommend checking out this lovely Roman theatre.

A very beautiful place with rich history and amazing architecture, the site was once the city center of Alexandria during the Roman times and the whole site contains a theater, ruins of villas, houses, shops, public baths, mosaics, etc.., the whole place is very worthy to spend time in and get to know more about the rich history of Alexandria, i highly recommend it to everyone visiting the city, it’s truly beautiful.

A very historical site, and something that has been preserved pretty well. A must visit place for the people who are into history and Roman architecture. Would recommend to take a cap/hat with you if you visit during the middle of the day as the place gets really sunny. The best time to visit would be early in the morning and/or late afternoon before closing.

Probably one of the best historical site in Alexandria. If you are interested in Roman history and architecture then this is the place. Closing time evening 5 pm. It will take more time to complete than you estimate at the start of the visit. Plan accordingly.

The Roman arena, the pillars , the bathing area and the residential habitat area of the time of Alexander the great. The heritage site is preserved but not maintained so well. The online ticket is 150 Egyptian pounds. An hour is sufficient to visit this site.. A must visit place if you are in Alexandria. The entry closes at 4.00 of the evening.

Amazing place—lots of interesting historical elements, including the theater, ancient bath houses, and ancient ruins of homes. Mosaic tile floors are so beautiful!

A great ancient Roman site to visit while in Alexandria. Along with the catacombs it is a must see for tour to the city. Highly recommend a tour guide to drive you to these places as they are hidden among the city. Definitely worth driving from Cairo to see. We went during the late fall and the weather was beautiful like early spring.

it is one of the most interesting place to visit. it is very old and organised. yoy can hire a guided tour and most of the guides are proffessional and decient. You can buy the ticket upon arrival. Of you are not part of a tour, please go by taxi or bus as there is no nearby paeking. Yo will spend about an hour and you really will enjoy. It is suitable for all ages. Do not forget to have a bottle of water with you. If you like my review, do not forget to like it....

Quite astonishing roman site , the ancient architecture will take you in Roman era! Surprisingly hv seen Pharoah sculptures also which shows the mix of two ancient civilizations ! The whole tour will take a max of 2 hours to explore whole site !

There's not a lot to see, but the Ancient Roman Theatre in Alexandria still has some interesting features like old baths and a villa with cool mosaics. It's worth checking out if you're in Alexandria

Place is magical, but I just wish it wasn't surrounded by all these city buildings. It completely ruins the view 😢

It’s quite remarkable that ruins of this era are still standing considering the exposure to the elements throughout time. To see the arena, the baths, pillars, the habitat, and visualise the lifestyle of its time and of Alexander the Great is a privilege. One hour is ample as it’s not a large complex. It costs 150egp and there is a security check.

A fascinating archaeological site to visit in Alexandria. The Ancient Roman Theatre was one of the places we stopped at during our tour of Alexandria, arrived here around mid-morning, and the theatre didn't have many visitors. We paid at the gate, staff were nice and friendly, and once inside, our tour guide gave us an amazing tour of the site. Structures are still in good condition, and it was fun to discover the spot where you get an echo whilst singing. We all took turns singing and having an amazing time. The rest of the onsite structures have some amazing mosaic, and it was nice to explore Overall, we all had an amazing time. And highly recommend a stop here if you are in Alexandria

We visited this month and it’s a fascinating site with so much history! Make sure you have a great guide if you want to learn about the theater while there. We bought tickets on site very quickly, but be advised if not buying in advance, you can only pay with a credit card for ticket entries across Egypt (Visa and MC, no Amex).

Roman history in Alexandria Love it. Very organized. Clean. Huge Likes the documentary films shows on Tv. Only one Note, the monument tags need more light to read it's dark After renovation it's becoming wow Thank you

One of the best historical places in Alexandria and Egypt. If you are interested in the roman history

The Roman Theater in Alexandria is a captivating historical site that showcases the influence of the ancient Roman civilization in the city. Located in the heart of Alexandria, this well-preserved theater takes visitors on a journey through time. The grand structure, with its tiered seating and impressive stage, is a testament to the architectural brilliance of the Romans. As I explored the theater, I was struck by its sheer size and the attention to detail in its construction. Imagining the vibrant performances that once took place on this stage transported me back to the days of ancient Rome. The Roman Theater in Alexandria is a must-visit for history enthusiasts and anyone interested in experiencing the grandeur of ancient Roman entertainment.
