EGYPT: The ruins of ancient ALEXANDRIA 🏛️, a complete tour, what to see!!

City of Alexandria, Egypt - the ruins of Alexandria, what to see in Alexandria, full tour of ancient Alexandria. Let's travel to the city of Alexandria in Egypt and let's visit the ruins of ancient Alexandria which was founded around a small Ancient Egyptian town in 331BC by Alexander the Great. Alexandria became an important center of the Hellenistic civilization and remained the capital of Hellenistic and Roman and Byzantine Egypt for almost 1000 years until the Muslim conquest of Egypt in AD 641, when a new capital was founded at Fustat (later absorbed into Cairo). Hellenistic Alexandria was best known for the Lighthouse of Alexandria (Pharos), one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World; its Great Library (the largest in the ancient world; now replaced by a modern one); and the Necropolis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages. Alexandria was the second most powerful city of the ancient world after Rome. Ongoing maritime archaeology in the harbor of Alexandria, which began in 1994, is revealing details of Alexandria both before the arrival of Alexander, when a city named Rhacotis existed there, and during the Ptolemaic dynasty.
