    History Museum with more than 1800 archaeological pieces exhibited chronologically: the basement is devoted to Prehistoric and Pharonic times; first floor to the Graeco-Roman period; second floor to the Coptic and Islamic era that highlights artifacts raised during recent underwater excavations.

    In the time of our visit (late October, 2005) our tour guide gave us the information that the Greek-Roman Museum is closed for restoration for about a planned 2 (!) years. Thus she showed us the Alexandria National Museum. We found this museum very interesting, as it includes the local findings from all the different ages from the vicinity of Alexandria. It guides through all the Egyptian Historical Periods: Old Kingdom, Middle Kingdom, New Kingdom, Greek times, Roman times, Muslim times and Modern times while showing a lot of interesting pieces. For us this was the first Egyptian Museum, I believe if You have already seen the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, it would be of moderate interest to You. But there is one big advantage: YOU ARE FREE TO TAKE PICTURES!! Costs EGP 30 to enter for tourists.

    This museum is literally small but sufficient for the city like Alexander. Can't compare with the Cairo Museum but here photos are allowed inside :) It contains sculptural, architectural and photographical works presented by contemporary Egyptians and foreign artists. The museum organises the Alexandrias Biennial, to exhibit the art of the Mediterranean countries.

    This relatively new museum contains treasures from Pharaonic, Greco-Roman, Coptic, and Islamic times. It is housed in an elegant building. At the time of our visit, the Greco-Roman museum was closed, so this was a good place to see. Photos are allowed inside, however a flash cannot be used. Chronologically, the oldest exhibits are in the basement, and as the timeline continues, you go higher up into the building.

  • While smaller than its much larger sister museum in downtown Cairo, the National Museum in Alexandria is much better maintained and organized.
