In the fourteenth century, there was a very destructive earthquake and the whole building was destroyed and the fortification you see today was built in its place. was considered one of the most important defensive strongholds along the Mediterranean Sea coast. It formulated an important part of the fortification system of Alexandria in the fifteenth century AD. The next visit is to Pompey's Pillar. The name is wrong, as it has nothing to do with Pompey, having been erected in 293 for Emperor Diocletian, possibly in memory of the rebellion of Domitius Domitianus. we head to the Catacomb of Kom El-Shokafa. These tombs were tunneled into the bedrock in the age of the Antonine Emperors (second century AD) for a single wealthy family still practicing the ancient religion. They represent the last existing major construction of the old Egyptian religion. And finally, is the new Alexandria Library. The Ancient Library of Alexandria was probably the largest and certainly the most famous of the libraries of the ancient world. It flourished during Greek rule and functioned as a major center of scholarship, at least until the time of the Roman conquest of Egypt, and probably for many centuries thereafter. The old library was destroyed in a fire around the first century BC. The magnificent new Library was opened in 2002 very near the site of the ancient library, after all, we say goodbye to Alexandria and Drive back to Cairo, Ancient Egypt Trip wish you a very happy day, overnight at your hotel in Cairo.
