Then, we'll explore the Roman amphitheatre. It's an incredibly well-preserved theatre from the Roman era, made of marble and able to seat up to 800 people. Around the amphitheatre, you'll find remnants of Roman baths, villas with beautiful galleries, mosaic floors, and even a pleasant garden. We'll continue our journey to the Citadel of Qaitbay, a defensive fortress built in the 15th century on the Mediterranean coast. It stands where the famous Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, once existed. The citadel is imposing and has significant historical importance.
