It is a beautiful and stands 82-feet in height. The pilar was built to honor Emperor Diocletian in AD 297. Touted as the ‘newest’ of the ancient places to visit, this is a great place to explore.

Alexandria Tour - I can confidently say that it was one of the highlights of my trip to Egypt. Our first stop was the Alexandria library which is stunning architecture and impressive collection of books. We also visited the catacombs, our guide haytham provided a fascinating account of the history of the catacombs. We also visited the Pompey pillar and the citadel of qaitbay which offered breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea. Throughout the day our guide was knowledgeable, friendly and engaging and he went above and beyond to make sure we had a memorable experience.
