After breakfast, we will visit a monument in Rome called Pompey's Pillar. It is made of bronze and is about high.
We're going to visit the Citadel of Qaitbay. It's a big and interesting place. The Citadel of Qaitbay is a 15th-century fortress located on the Mediterranean sea coast in Alexandria, Egypt. It was built by Sultan Al-Ashraf Sayf al-Din Qa'it Bay. The Citadel is situated on the eastern side of the northern tip of Pharos Island at the mouth of the Eastern Harbour.
We are going to the Alexandria library. It is one of the biggest and most significant libraries from ancient times. It was part of a larger research institution called the Mouseion. The Mouseion was dedicated to the Muses, the nine goddesses of the arts. The idea for a universal library may have come from Demetrius of Phalerum, an exiled Athenian statesman living in Alexandria. However, the Library probably wasn't built until the reign of Ptolemy II Philadelphus. The Library quickly acquired many scrolls because of the Ptolemaic kings' aggressive and well-funded policies for acquiring texts. It is still unknown exactly how many scrolls were housed at any given time, but estimates range from 40,000 to 400,000.
On the last day of our trip, we will have lunch at a very nice restaurant and then go back to our hotel.
