Serapeum of Alexandria

Very lovely area to explore, this pillar is massive and is surrounded by various ruins and other little statues and monuments. It is very well preserved and maintained, I was with a local tour guide who explained the history and showed me around the site. I enjoyed my time here and would recommend visiting this beautiful place.

Ok place with great history as Microsoft Monica said. Pompey's Pillar is a historical site located in Alexandria, Egypt. It is a Roman triumphal column, which stands at around 25 meters (82 feet) tall and is made of red Aswan granite. The pillar is one of the largest of its kind and is believed to have been built to honor the Roman Emperor Diocletian. I

It was very nice and the open space with this amount of vegetation is very relaxing and the landmarks impressed me, reccomended

The huge granite column with the 2 sphinxes is very beautiful, it makes you think of how it once was in its grandeur. The 2 underground excavations are suggestive.

The Pompey's Pillar, is one of major landmarks of Alexandria. The Pillar was built by the Romans in the third century AD, from red granite. Unfortunately it's surroundings are not maintained properly.

This is an amazing place, probably top 1 thing to see in Alexandria. It is crazy to even imagine how they dug this deep and were able to carve reliefs out of the walls.

It has improved since I was last there, they have included a very nice walkway around the site, although it is already in slight disrepair.

This site is not as impressive as some of the other ruins in Alexandria, but it is definitely worth a visit. We were pressed for time and didn't get to explore some of the areas, apparently there is an excavation that leads to some underground areas, we didn't check it out.

Pompey pillar is the name given to the Roman victory column in Alexandria, Egypt. Erected in honor of Roman emperor Diocletian between 298–302 AD.

Serapeum of Alexandria, also one of the must-see ancient sites, do not miss it if you are visiting Alexandria. Tickets are paid by card, and it is recommended to arrive early, especially if you are in the summer months. A nice path for walking around the site, enjoying the architecture and admiring the building skills of such a distant period.

Pompey's Pillar is not the right name, but this place is very nice. You need like 45 - 60 minutes inside with nice view on pillar and 2 sphinxs. Good clean free toilets inside and few small shops with tourist "you-do-not-need" souvenirs.

Our guide added a lot to the experience, explaining the Roman’s fascination with ancient Egypt. Many of the sculptures are of ancient Egyptian origin and were transported there from other sites by the Romans. The subterranean library and sanctuary were especially interesting to see.

The Serapeum of Alexandria, an ancient temple in Alexandria, is a mesmerizing destination that offers a glimpse into the rich history of the region. The grand architecture, towering columns, and intricate carvings transport visitors back in time, showcasing the skill and artistry of the ancient Egyptians. Despite its compact size, the temple's well-preserved statues and reliefs provide valuable insights into the religious practices and beliefs of the era. A visit to the Serapeum of Alexandria is a must for history enthusiasts, offering a serene and captivating experience that immerses visitors in the wonders of ancient Egypt.

Easily accessible by tram from mansheya.
Quiet place to visit, very clean. Small cafe on site and decent toilets. Friendly staff and a good place for a walk. There are a few underground galleries beneath the site, a bit dim in places but a phone torch helped.

Beautiful! Especially the really cool tunnel system below that went very deep!

Although it’s a historical place with a nice art work but that’s it! Just a small compound so not much to explore here actually.

We didn’t expect much at all, but we were totally surprised! In one corner was an amazing underground library that we enjoyed very much. The Pillar was cool, too. A little disappointed in the aging placards, so make sure to bring your guide book or hire a guide.

Very nice place but in the middle of city, so little noise

Another fun place and much less creepy than the catacombs, lol. There are two library complexes, and two sphinx like statues besides the pillar.

The have a nice cafeteria/cafe as well as two shops for souvenirs. Walking around the complex is fun and it's quiet - a treat if you're tired of all the cars.

The place is very quiet, it is not so crowded, so we were able to enjoy it just for ourselves, take good photos and go down to the catacombs

Built during the Roman Empire, the place is still worth visiting. You must visit here. Centuries ago, the art of the people was at its peak. Alexandria was built by Alexander the Great, but its beauty was enhanced by the Roman Empire gave it definitely I recommended
