Alexander's city on the Mediterranean: Roman-era catacombs, a fort built on the old lighthouse, and a new Great Library.
Alexander the Great founded it in 331 BC, Cleopatra ruled from it, and for a thousand years it was the ancient world's centre of learning. What survives mixes periods in surprising ways. In the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, Egyptian, Greek and Roman burial art share a single tomb. The Citadel of Qaitbay was built from the ruins of the Pharos lighthouse. There is Pompey's Pillar, and the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, a striking modern reply to the library that was lost to fire. Finish with fish on the corniche — it is the best day trip you can take from Cairo.
