    Some may say the theater will be nothing if you compare with the ROme`s. Well, seeing A ROman Theater in Alexandria, Egypt, far from its home will be unimaginable though. The entrance fee in February 2007 was 15LE. After the entrance gate you will see some statues and sarchopagus from granite. The theater is lower than the ground level. Great pictures of it could be taken before going down to its stairs. You can even see the seat numbers ! It is located in a small area but it is worth to see for me. Great surroundings, many plants and trees in the area.

  • Directions: few steps from main train station of Alexandria

    The Roman Theatre is situated in a general area called Kom el Dikka, which has become the city's largest archaeological park. Built in the IV century AD, it remained in use until about the VII century AD, or about the time of the Arab invasion. It was discovered during the 1960s when a government building was planned for this location over the ruins of a Napoleonic fort that had earlier been destroyed. However, during excavation, the ruins of the Roman theatre were found. The amphitheater consists of thirteen gray and white marble levels of terraces that lead down to the arena. Its buttressed wall was designed in a semicircular style to act as a passageway that ran beneath the early theater. The theatre has seating, elevated towards the rear part, in the shape of a horseshoe. There are thirteen rows of white and gray marble seats, except for the first row which was made of red granite to give strength to the structure. The marble was imported from Europe (probably Italy). It could hold up to 800 people. The step seating of the Roman Theatre was built upon a thick limestone wall with another brick wall surrounding that one. The two walls were linked. Open 9.00 – 17.00. Entrance fee LE15 ($3). You may see my ticket at the fifth pic. You may watch my high resolution photos on Google Earth in Alexandria Roman Theatre according to the following coordinates 31º 11' 40.15" N 29º 54' 13.13" E or on my Google Earth Panoramio Photo 1, Photo 2.

    The ancient history of Alexandria is for the largest part invisible, hidden under the ground and sea. You can visit the Graeco Roman Museum with 40.000 artifacts from the 3th century BC. Near the railwaystation are excavations of romans ruins between modern buildings, The excavations started, when the foundations for new apartment buildings had to be made.

    Dating from the 2nd Century AD you can see the marble seats, mosaic flooring and columns that formed part of the original architecture of this ampitheatre. This is, I think, the only Roman Theatre in Egypt. Excavations of the theatre and a nearby Graeco-Roman Street, houses and shops are still on going. Cost: 6.00 Egyptian Pounds each We were allowed to take pictures of the amphitheatre but not of the current excavations

    The only amphitheatre of this kind in Egypt, the Roman Amphitheatre in Alexadria is located in the area of Kom-el-Dikka. The visitors can still admire today the 12 steps made of marble forming a semicircle around the stage. From the middle of the stage an orator’s voice sounds like talking in a microphone. In the Roman times, the amphitheatre was surrounded by gardens and Roman baths.

  • Directions: Few steps from Main Train Station of Alexandria.
