The site also includes the remains of a Roman street and homes. After lunch (additional cost) you will have an outside view of the fort of Qaitbay built-in 1477 on the same spot as the great lighthouse of Alexandria. Then, visit the famous Alexandria Library. In contrast to the ancient architecture found throughout Egypt, the Norwegian-designed building is a striking piece of modern design. A copy of every book published in the world is kept in the library, making it one of the great literary sites in the world. The library also houses several exhibitions relating to the history of Egypt and a display of rare antique books (additional cost).
