The Greco-Roman Museum in Alexandria, Egypt, showcases artifacts from the Greco-Roman period, particularly the Ptolemaic era, offering insights into the cultural exchange between ancient Egypt and Greco-Roman civilizations. Established in 1892, the museum moved to its current location in 1895 and houses a diverse collection, including sculptures, mummies, sarcophagi, and tapestries. Its collection grew through donations and excavations led by various directors, with items also sourced from the Egyptian Antiquities Organization. The museum is housed in a neoclassical building with a Greek inscription and features 27 halls and a garden. After being closed for extensive renovations, it reopened in October 2023.

    The best museum I've been to so far in my 10 years of living in Egypt. It's so well organized and detailed, with so many different things to see. There are multiple floors and a cafe too. The information is very interesting and informative as well as very cool if you're interested in this type of history. So many amazing artifacts and statues and there were even videos of how some statues were found under the ocean. So amazing I recommend going for sure. The paying is only through visa though and you need to park far and walk to the place but still worth it.

    Congratulations, Alexandria, on your world-class museum! 😊 The collection is well organized, and the first time I see in Egypt museum treasures presented with detailed descriptions, maps and historical context. Wonderful! In particular, I enjoyed seeing some treasures that are actually from Alexandria, although many items are from around Egypt during the Greco Roman period. Accepts Visa 💳 for entry payment.

    This is one of the best museums in Egypt and to be honest such a great place to go out. It's filled with so much history and iconic pieces. There could be more labels on the pieces and the gift shop should be better as it's just like any Bazar or basic gift shop out there. The lounge area and the cafe are a great area to hang out too.
