We had the pleasure of touring Alexandria on September 4th with Ahmed Zaki, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. Our tour included the ancient Roman amphitheater, the catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa, Pompey’s Pillar, and the Qaitbay Citadel. Ahmed’s knowledge of each site was incredible—he brought history to life with fascinating details and stories that gave us a much deeper appreciation of Alexandria’s rich past.
