Katakomben von Kom El Shoqafa & Pompejussäule Tour

The Catacombs of Kom el-Shoqafa are a 2nd-century CE underground necropolis in Alexandria, Egypt, discovered by accident in 1900 when a donkey fell through the ground. Cut roughly 35 metres deep across three levels, the tombs blend ancient Egyptian, Greek, and Roman funerary art and architecture, and are included on Alexandria's UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List.

Pompey's Pillar is a Roman triumphal column standing in Alexandria, Egypt, carved from a single block of red Aswan granite and rising roughly 26.85 meters, including its Corinthian capital. Despite the name, it honors Emperor Diocletian, erected around 298–302 AD after he suppressed a revolt; the "Pompey" attribution stems from a medieval misreading, not Pompey the general.

Nirgendwo sonst in Ägypten zeigen sich ägyptische, griechische und römische künstlerische Traditionen so direkt an einem einzigen Ort vereint.

Die unterirdischen Katakomben bieten im Vergleich zu Freiluftstätten eine willkommene Abkühlung von der Sonne.
