Graeco Roman Museum Guided Walking Tour

Journey through a millennium of history with Egy Tours’ Graeco Roman Museum Guided Walking Tour, an immersive exploration of Alexandria’s golden age under Greek and Roman rule. Recently reopened after a 17-year renovation, this museum is a treasure trove of 40,000 artifacts spanning from Alexander the Great’s arrival in 332 BCE to the Arab conquest in 641 CE. Perfect for lovers of ancient civilizations and archaeological tours in Egypt, this experience reveals how Alexandria became a crossroads of Mediterranean cultures.

Your Egy Tours guide will lead you through 27 meticulously curated galleries. Stand before the colossal statue of Serapis, the syncretic deity blending Greek and Egyptian beliefs, and admire the Tanagra figurines—exquisite terracotta statues depicting daily life in Ptolemaic Alexandria. The Roman Gallery showcases mosaics of Medusa and Dionysus, while the Jewelry Wing glitters with gold diadems and amethyst necklaces worn by elite Roman matrons.

Don’t miss the Nile Meter, an ancient device used to measure flood levels, or the Hall of Mummies, where Egyptian burial practices merge with Roman portraiture. The museum’s open-air courtyard features sphinxes, columns, and a reconstructed Roman villa, offering unparalleled photo opportunities.
