Places You'll Visit
The Roman Theatre at Kom el-Dikka in Alexandria is Egypt's only surviving Roman-era theatre, uncovered by a Polish-Egyptian archaeological mission after its accidental discovery in 1960. Dating largely from the 4th century AD with later remodeling, its marble seating originally held around 600 spectators and forms part of a wider excavated complex that includes Roman baths and villas.
The Graeco-Roman Museum in Alexandria, Egypt, houses artifacts illustrating the fusion of pharaonic, Greek, and Roman culture in Egypt from the Ptolemaic through Byzantine periods. Closed for restoration from 2005, it reopened to the public on 11 October 2023 after an 18-year renovation, with upgraded exhibition spaces and climate control protecting roughly 10,000 artifacts on display.
