The lady at the ticket office doesnt know the government rules for foreigners who are married to an Egyptian. She sabotages Egypt tourism and leaves negative feedback to non-Egyptian visitors when they should feel like at home for being a wife to an Egyptian. We will never come back or recommend visiting the place.

Its really interesting to see classic Roman architecture in Egypt, and dont miss out on hearing your own amplified voice in the theatre! The site is fairly small, not much else to see beside the theatre and some exquisite tile work.

Very dirty and zero maintenance about this, trash everywhere including inside the the ruins. except for the amphitheater which is also the only thing worth seeing, it was kind of shocking. Overall not recommended wasting your money on this

A great ancient Roman site to visit while in Alexandria. Along with the catacombs it is a must see for tour to the city. Highly recommend a tour guide to drive you to these places as they are hidden among the city. Definitely worth driving from Cairo to see. We went during the late fall and the weather was beautiful like early spring.

Such a Wonderful visit! The place there really captures the essence of ancient Alexandria . The staff are friendly and the tickets are quite cheap as well for a place with such amount of history and well preserved monuments from the antiquity.The name is somewhat misleading, though indeed theres a very well preserved ancient Roman theatre there , however the 2500 years old complex provides WAY more than that , its an entire complex with baths, roads , pillars , ruins of lecture halls , houses and shops , some Byzantine mosaic art in the Villa of Birds .Theres also an open air museum, showing different statues from the different civilisations of ancient Egyptian history ; ancient Egyptian, Ptolemaic and Roman statues ! Theres also boards which really narrate the story of every statue and every area in the complex , I highly advise carefully reading them and immersing yourself in the history of the area as you walk through it , the place is really mesmerising and calm , away from the hustle of the never sleeping city of Alexandria, however -specially in summer - and like the rest of whole of Egypt haha, the sun can be really dazzling, so wear a cap and put on some sun screen , dont forget water and stay hydrated :. Its a wonderful experience youll absolutely enjoy .Another historical gem in the ancient city of Alexander The Great !

A must-see site of Alexandria! Dating to 4th Century AD, including a section of downtown ancient Alexandria including a public bath, an auditarium study classes and a Roman villa dating to 2nd century AD with great mosaics called the Villa of The Birds.

Awesome place to visit as it is not just the Roman theater. It is about a complete city where there are baths, houses, and Mosaic craftwork reflecting the glorious Batlamic and Roman blend in the ancient Egyptian city Alexandria. Only problem is that there is no voice tour or printed map. Only the one hanging close to the entrance and there are explanation signs beside the monuments but I see they should put more.

A hidden gem in the middle of a busy area. This roman complex has more ruins and artifacts than I have seen at many other places. The white and red ruins look pretty nice. Entrance is not expensive. However, you need to research the place before you go. There is limited-to-no guides or explanations of what the items represent. Some areas are not well kept but overall it is in a good shape. The guards, police and employees were very professional.

The Roman Amphitheatre, also known as the Roman Theatre, is located in Alexandrias centre district of Kom el-Dikka. The Roman Theatre is one of Alexandrias emblems, bordered on the north by Horrya Street, the west by Nabi Daniel Street, the south by Abdel Moneim Street, and the east by Saphia Zaghloul Street.Amphitheatres were vast and majestic structures that meant double theatre. Amphitheatres were open-air theatres with no stage curtains, usually built in a semi-circular shape.Although the Roman Theatre of Egypt is small in size and much of the construction is in ruins, it is nonetheless a remarkable ancient Egyptian monument from the Roman period. The theatre also has a number of badly constructed galleries.

The Roman theater in Alexandria in Kom El-Dikka is one of the monuments of the Roman era. It was built at the beginning of the fourth century AD, and it is the only Roman theater in Egypt.This building was discovered by chance while removing dirt for pulp

The Ancient Roman Theater is located inside the Kom el Dikka gate which is an old wealthy Roman neighborhood long ago. The most intact portion however is the amphitheater. You can also walk toward the villa of the birds to see pretty mosaic tiles. It is enclosed in a building to preserve it longer. Opening hours during Covid time is 10am though.

Not too much to explore, not any real guides or things to keep your interest. Dont go on a hot day or you will definitely get burned. All in all really cool to see, especially of youre into theatre history.

Theres a focal point in the theater (you can see it on the ground), once you stand on it the whole audio environment changes, as though you have been put inside some enclosed facility. Sounds become curved your way :-very peculiar experience.Otherwise, a mix of Greek and Roman stuff, preserved in pretty good shape. Most probably, some university or something

This is one of my ultimate favorite spots. Its extremely beautiful and you can go there for a quiet scenic walk. My favorite thing to do is grab brunch and snack on the stepped seats in front of the theater. Dont miss it.

The place is fantastic in so many ways. It’s really easy to get a feel for what the old layout was like, there are buildings from an impressively long period from Roman history and much is well preserved.As with many sites in Egypt, there is not enough information about the site and we were glad to have a guide.We were also disappointed to see tourists climbing over bits they shouldn’t, potentially ruining them for future generations, without being challenged.

Two stars because it isn’t a complete waste. Not much to see here, though. A visit probably isn’t worth the admission price. You’ll get 1/2 hour at best. If you’ve seen other Roman ruins you’ll be thoroughly underwhelmed.

If you sing or talk loud near the stadium area you will find your voice echo. This was how they used to talk in social gathering and government talks, this was also a place where the Greeks would perform skits and plays
