Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa
Catacombs of Kom El-Shoqafa. These ancient tombs are divided into three levels, containing the Triclinium, where relatives used to sit on stone benches to feast in honor of the dead. Inside the catacombs, there are statues of Sobec and Anubis wearing Roman armor dating back to the 2nd century A.D

The idea of reviving the old library dates back to 1974 when a committee set up by Alexandria University selected a plot of land for its new library, between the campus and the seafront, close to where the ancient library once stood. The recreation of the ancient library was not only adopted by other individuals and agencies, but it also garnered support from Egyptian politicians
