I set out for the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa thinking this would be a nice way to fill the better part of an afternoon in Alexandria checking out an Egyptian Greco-Roman underground burial chamber dating from about 200 CE.
I hadn’t counted on a couple things: First, that the site would be so impressive (it’s considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages). And second, that I would have the cavernous catacombs to myself for the better part of an hour before finally encountering a group of four people as I was about to leave.
If you like your antiquities sites lightly-visited and are coming to Alexandria, you’ll likely enjoy this place as much as I did, as the video uploaded to my KZfaq channel shows.
