The Great Sphinx :
Also known as "Abu Al-Hawl" which means "The Father of Terror" in Arabic language. It is the oldest statue in the world, and it is in the form of a mythical beast known as "The Great Sphinx" which resembles a Lion’s body and the head of a human being most likely that of King Khafre as a sign of supremacy and knowledge. The sphinx has been an inspirational object for numerous tourists and poets till today due to the many mysteries that surround it. It is 73m (240ft) tall and 19m (66ft) in length.

The Grand Egyptian Museum is an extremely technologically advanced massive structure housing several archaeological wonders, in sync with the astral pyramids of Giza, covering an area of almost 490,000 square meters. The museum acts as a doorway to 5,000 years of history by shedding light on the artistic, spiritual, and timeless heritage of ancient Egypt.

Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa :
The Catacombs of Alexandria is considered as one of the special monuments in Egypt; the Necropolis, built in the 2nd century AD, and it managed to integrate the elements of art of both Hellenistic and Roman to the art of the Pharaonic Ancient Egyptians in the most attractive way. This monument includes many great artifacts and decorations in its three levels and for this reason it has been considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages.
Pompey’s Pillar :
It is the biggest monoliths’ column ever constructed outside of Rome, reaching 28 meters in height and 2.7 meters in width from red granite stone, and has a Greek inscription on its western upper surface dedicated to the Emperor Diocletian. The Pillar received the name of Pompey since, in the Medieval Era, the Crusaders erroneously thought that the relics of the Roman General Pompey are placed in a pot on top of the pillar.
Citadel of Qait Bey :
The greatest example of the magnificence and power of the Mediterranean Sea. The Citadel of Qait Bey was built in 1477 by Sultan Al-Ashraf Sayf Al-Din Qa'it bay atop the historic lighthouse of Alexandria – the third longest standing wonder in the ancient world which was destroyed due to earthquakes between 956 AD and 1323 AD using the stones of the lighthouse. The Citadel of Qait Bey is widely known since some people believe that the citadel carries the eternal soul of the Alexandria Lighthouse.
