Next, marvel at Pompey’s Pillar, a towering granite column that stands over 25 meters high and is the last remaining relic of the Serapeum of Alexandria, an ancient temple dedicated to the god Serapis.

Your historical exploration continues with a visit to Fort Qait Bey, a formidable fortress that once guarded the entrance to the harbor. Built on the site of the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the fort offers stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea.
