Book NowThe Roman Amphitheatre, located in the Kom El-Dikka neighborhood, is one of Egypt's most significant Greco-Roman monuments and the only one of its kind in the country. Discovered accidentally in the 1960s, this architectural gem features thirteen semicircular tiers of white marble seating that could once accommodate up to 800 spectators. The site is a sprawling archaeological park that includes more than just the theatre; visitors can explore the 'Villa of the Birds' with its stunningly preserved mosaics, remains of ancient Roman baths, and a unique open-air museum displaying sunken monuments retrieved from the Mediterranean. Its central location and historical depth make it a top destination for international tourists exploring the ancient soul of Alexandria.
