Alexandria, Egypt



The name comes from Alexander the Great who was deemed the new Pharoh of Egpyt sometime in 300 B.C.





One of the ancient wonders of the world was on this spot. You can dive in and check out pillars, and other fun treasures, including Cleopatras sunken temple.




This mosiac was found under the current location of the library, what a find!




An amazing shield actually used in several battles.










A wonderful library in Alexandria.



Pillar of Pompey in the distance.



Massive pillar is one of the only remaining treasure of the old Alexandria.



The 8th wonder of the world, the Borat Bush!
