Kom el Dikka is an archaeological site in Alexandria, Egypt, which was once a wealthy residential area before becoming a major civic center during the Roman period. The site includes a large bath complex, a Roman theater, and a series of auditoria, providing valuable insight into urban life in Roman and Byzantine Alexandria. Key features include well-preserved mosaics from early villas, as well as public works from the 4th to 7th centuries, such as the imperial baths and educational lecture halls. Excavation work at the site, ongoing since 1960, has revealed extensive evidence of both private and public life, making it one of the most complete ancient urban sites in the city.

Well worth a visit. Signs are in both English and Arabic. The mosaics are wonderful and the site is well laid out. Lovely section on the underwater archaeology found in the harbour.

I love the night events that are held regularly for the Egyptian singers. The atmosphere is remarkable and recommend for all who like music. The place is very Centers and the admission ticket is very affordable. You will have the chance to feel the Roman Theatre Style and life from within the place. Good to visit.
