Local attractions in Alexandria - Egypt

Being an ancient city, Alexandria has many ancient sites and attractions, and more are always being discovered, whether under the sea or under the ground. 

Some of these attractions are pictured here. 

The Citadel of Qait Buy is one of the landmarks on the coast. 

The Pillars of Pompeii are another of the attractions, these are remains of an ancient temple that has both Roman and Egyptian artifacts.

The Amphitheatre is another example of the wide cultural history that Alexandria has enjoyed over the centuries. 

A more recent attraction is the palace of El-Montazah, it was one of the many palaces that belonged to the royal family in the more recent Egyptian history when Egypt was a kingdom. El-Montazah is now a public recreation area with great gardens and beaches.

The new library of Alexandria is an architectural masterpiece. It is built to replace the ancient library and already keeps millions of new and rare books on hand.
