Very great place to connect to little but huge parts of ancient history. If you like to explore, you will love this!

We didn’t expect much at all, but we were totally surprised! In one corner was an amazing underground library that we enjoyed very much. The Pillar was cool, too. A little disappointed in the aging placards, so make sure to bring your guide book or hire a guide.

My family visited this place with a tour guide. It is a nice place to visit while in Alexandria. Beautiful sceneries surrounded with many ancient remains.

Built during the Roman Empire, the place is still worth visiting. You must visit here. Centuries ago, the art of the people was at its peak. Alexandria was built by Alexander the Great, but its beauty was enhanced by the Roman Empire gave it definitely I recommended

I didn't found this to be very special in particular. The structure looks okay and it surrounding mediocre. No artifacts of any things to see. If you can skip this, I would.

Easily accessible by tram from mansheya. Quiet place to visit, very clean. Small cafe on site and decent toilets. Friendly staff and a good place for a walk. There are a few underground galleries beneath the site, a bit dim in places but a phone torch helped.

It has improved since I was last there, they have included a very nice walkway around the site, although it is already in slight disrepair. This site is not as impressive as some of the other ruins in Alexandria, but it is definitely worth a visit. We were pressed for time and didn't get to explore some of the areas, apparently there is an excavation that leads to some underground areas, we didn't check it out.

Very lovely area to explore, this pillar is massive and is surrounded by various ruins and other little statues and monuments. It is very well preserved and maintained, I was with a local tour guide who explained the history and showed me around the site. I enjoyed my time here and would recommend visiting this beautiful place.

Path ways need to be made safer. From rickety bridges crossing holes, to bannisters on stairs not good for touching let alone helping you get up or down them. Random bits of broken “finds” just everywhere not really on display but more “in storage”

Another fun place and much less creepy than the catacombs, lol. There are two library complexes, and two sphinx like statues besides the pillar. The have a nice cafeteria/cafe as well as two shops for souvenirs. Walking around the complex is fun and it's quiet - a treat if you're tired of all the cars.

Our guide added a lot to the experience, explaining the Roman’s fascination with ancient Egypt. Many of the sculptures are of ancient Egyptian origin and were transported there from other sites by the Romans. The subterranean library and sanctuary were especially interesting to see.

A historical site worth visiting if you have time in your hand. The Serapeum of Alexandria with the famous Pompey’s Pillar is one of those places that connects the Greco-Roman roots and remains of a few ruins. The interesting thing is the underground remains of the small library of Alexandria (the smaller version of the famous great one), and an underground sanctuary with a replica statue of Apis bull. Liked that they didn’t add any artificial lights there, and you have to rely on your mobile’s flash to enter.

Once upon a time the highest point in ancient Alexandria. Made from red granite and still standing tall and strong to this date.

Pompey pillar is the name given to the Roman victory column in Alexandria, Egypt. Erected in honor of Roman emperor Diocletian between 298–302 AD.

Ok place with great history as Microsoft Monica said. Pompey's Pillar is a historical site located in Alexandria, Egypt. It is a Roman triumphal column, which stands at around 25 meters (82 feet) tall and is made of red Aswan granite. The pillar is one of the largest of its kind and is believed to have been built to honor the Roman Emperor Diocletian. I

Serapeum of Alexandria, also one of the must-see ancient sites, do not miss it if you are visiting Alexandria. Tickets are paid by card, and it is recommended to arrive early, especially if you are in the summer months. A nice path for walking around the site, enjoying the architecture and admiring the building skills of such a distant period.

Pompey's Pillar is not the right name, but this place is very nice. You need like 45 - 60 minutes inside with nice view on pillar and 2 sphinxs. Good clean free toilets inside and few small shops with tourist "you-do-not-need" souvenirs.

This is an amazing place, probably top 1 thing to see in Alexandria. It is crazy to even imagine how they dug this deep and were able to carve reliefs out of the walls.

The place is very quiet, it is not so crowded, so we were able to enjoy it just for ourselves, take good photos and go down to the catacombs

Very beautiful historical site, it was once the great Serapeum of Alexandria with the famous Pompey’s Pillar, the site is Greco-Roman and full with history that shows us how great this site was in its golden times, there are also an underground remains of the small library of Alexandria(the smaller version of the famous great one), and also an underground sanctuary with a replica statue of Apis bull, overall it was a very nice attraction and worth checking out.

The Pompey's Pillar, is one of major landmarks of Alexandria. The Pillar was built by the Romans in the third century AD, from red granite. Unfortunately it's surroundings are not maintained properly.

The huge granite column with the 2 sphinxes is very beautiful, it makes you think of how it once was in its grandeur. The 2 underground excavations are suggestive.

Nice place to explore, the piller itself is very impressive as it was built from one piece of marble and the 2 sphinx look amazing and the underground libraries are nice overall its a very nice place to explore

The Serapeum of Alexandria, an ancient temple in Alexandria, is a mesmerizing destination that offers a glimpse into the rich history of the region. The grand architecture, towering columns, and intricate carvings transport visitors back in time, showcasing the skill and artistry of the ancient Egyptians. Despite its compact size, the temple's well-preserved statues and reliefs provide valuable insights into the religious practices and beliefs of the era. A visit to the Serapeum of Alexandria is a must for history enthusiasts, offering a serene and captivating experience that immerses visitors in the wonders of ancient Egypt.

There is a boom in the residential area. Even if you don't enter the park, you can see the exterior to some extent. To be honest, it's not enough to go inside. By the way, I recommend walking to here or looking around. The surrounding residential neighborhoods felt representative of reality.

Nice sight if you are in Alexandria. Most of the buildings is gone but the main pillar is outstanding in the middle of the area, giving an idea of the engineering techniques and greatness of that period.

A bit difficult to reach here cause of messy traffic. Such big ancient pillar and sphinx is hilighted. The surrounding looks drought.

This was once a temple dedicated for Serapis. Over time, a church was constructed and I think also a mosque. All of them were demolished unfortunately due to natural causes. Now its just the ruins. At the center, you see a big pillar called Pompey's pillar even though it doesn't seem to be constructed for hime

After the temples and pyramids not the most amazing place. But it gives a good feeling, is so clean and quiet, exactly what you need in one of the poorest neighborhoods in Alexandria. Very interesting place to visit. The ticket was 80 EGP

A Roman triumphal column in Alexandria, Egypt is known as Pompey's Pillar. The gigantic porphyry statue of the Roman emperor Diocletian in armour was originally supported by the giant Corinthian column, which was built in his honour between 298 and 302 AD. It is located on the eastern side of the Serapeum of Alexandria's temenos, next to the ruins of Serapis' temple. The historical misunderstanding of the Greek dedicatory inscription on the base led to the incorrect name and link with Pompey. In 1326 AD, Muslim adventurer Ibn Battuta paid a visit to Alexandria. He depicts the pillar and tells the story of an archer who crossed the column with an arrow attached to a string. This allowed him to climb over the pillar by pulling a rope linked to the thread over the pillar and securing it on the other side. Commander John Shortland of HMS Pandour, a British naval commander, flew a kite over Pompey's Pillar in early 1803. This allowed him to get ropes and eventually a rope ladder over it. He and Pandour's Master, John White, ascended it on February 2. They raised the Union Jack, drank a drink to King George III, and offered three cheers as they reached the summit. They ascended the pillar again four days later, constructed a staff, installed a weather vane, ate a beef steak, and hailed the monarch once more. After ascending the Pillar, these sailors became known as "Pompey's lads," according to an etymology of the nickname "Pompey" for the Royal Navy's home port of Portsmouth and its football team; other unconnected origins
