    According to the guide book, the Roman theatre in Alexandria was built in the 4th century AD, and was in use until the 7th century AD. It may originally have been used for small musical performances, but was possibly converted later into a lecture theatre. There is a spot near the centre, marked by a round stone, where one's voice seems to be amplified - quite interesting to try out!

    Admission 10 EGP (May 2006). It is located on teh right side of train station, within 5 min walk from main train station of Alexandria. This site is quite interesting as it contians some of the stones from the underwater site of Qaitbey. (see pics)

    My first visit to this place was in 1989. It had not change much in 16 years. Some more statues was on the courtyard. The theatre is well preserved and you can still see how beautiful the mosaic floor has been. Entrance fee in 2005 was 10 L.E (Egyptian pound)

    Roman amphitheatre: Can be skipped

  • The Roman amphitheater in Alexandria is significantly smaller than an typical odeon. Aside from the amphitheater and a few columns, there's not much else to see. If you've been in Palmyra, Jerash, and/or Bosra which have large amphitheaters, then you'll be disappointed with Alexandria's. However, if you're like me who like to see absolutely everything, then go ahead and see it for yourself. The entrance fee is EGP 10 (cheaper than Pompeii's Pillar) and photography is permitted.
