]]>Bibliotheca Alexandrina
Bibliotheca Alexandrina is the city’s no. 1 tourist attraction, but it’s more than just a library. This vast complex houses many other attractions on its premises, including four museums—Antiquities Museum, Manuscript Museum, Sadat Museum, and History of Science Museum.
Alexandria National Museum
The best place for exploring Egypt’s history through the ages, Alexandria National Museum is one of the city’s leading cultural institutions. It’s housed in the restored Italianate palace, and you can explore three floors covered with around 1,800 artifacts, ranging from the Pharaonic epoch to the Hellenistic and Roman periods.
Royal Jewelry Museum
If you have a soft spot for ancient jewelry, and the collections of regular museums aren’t impressive enough for your taste, how about visiting this one? Located in the former palace, this museum houses a collection of jewelry of the Muhammad Ali Dynasty, but you can also find 19th-century paintings, statues, and decorative pieces on its premises.

Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa
One of the seven Wonders of the Middle Ages is in Alexandria, and a must-visit for those who come to this city. These catacombs date back to the 2nd century AD and combine Egyptian, Greek, and Roman influences to host the burial places of many of Egypt’s former pharaohs.
Citadel of Qaitbay
Alexandria’s location on the Mediterranean gives it a convenient, but also vulnerable, setting. For this reason, in the 15th century, the former Sultan of Egypt built an impressive fort to protect the city from attacks which still stands today and can be visited.
