Here, you can admire incredible views of the sea and the Eastern Harbour.
The city is also rich in historical sites, including the striking Roman ruins of Kom al Dikka, which feature the only known Roman amphitheatre in Egypt. You must also see the towering Pompey’s Pillar, a majestic Roman triumphal column that is a symbol of the city’s deep roots.
