Asked & answered

Frequent questions

1. 01How long should I allow to visit Kom El Dikka?

   Allow 60–90 minutes to visit Kom El Dikka comfortably. This lets you see the large Roman theatre, the smaller theatre, the bath complex and surviving mosaics. We recommend 60–90 minutes rather than squeezing it into a 20–30 minute cruise-ship stop; we can arrange a private Egyptologist if you want detailed commentary.
2. 02Are guided tours available at Kom El Dikka?

   Yes – licensed site guides work at Kom El Dikka and we can provide a private Egyptologist. Site guides operate from the ticket area; our Egyptologists cover mosaic techniques, the theatre’s late-Roman use and urban archaeology. Tours typically last 60–90 minutes and are language-dependent; for academic or commercial shoots we advise pre-booking and permission requests.
3. 03Is Kom El Dikka wheelchair accessible?

   Kom El Dikka has uneven ancient paving, steps and limited ramping; it is not fully wheelchair-accessible. Some flat areas near the entrance and parts of the large theatre can be reached, but most of the complex requires negotiating cobbles and low steps. We can arrange assistance, a close vehicle drop-off or an alternative viewpoint for guests with reduced mobility.
4. 04Can I take photographs at Kom El Dikka?

   Personal photography is generally allowed at Kom El Dikka; tripods and drones are usually prohibited without permission. Flash may be restricted near mosaics and conservation signage must be respected. Professional shoots require advance permission from the antiquities authority; we can apply for permits on your behalf and will confirm rules before your visit.
5. 05Where is Kom El Dikka in Alexandria and what is nearby?

   Kom El Dikka sits in central Alexandria close to the Bibliotheca Alexandrina and the Alexandria National Museum. You can combine it with the National Museum, the Graeco-Roman Museum displays or a walk along the Corniche. Unlike indoor museum visits, Kom El Dikka involves outdoor walking on archaeological remains, so plan time and footwear accordingly.
6. 06Are toilets, shade and places to buy water available at Kom El Dikka?

   On-site toilets and refreshments at Kom El Dikka are limited; nearby facilities are at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina. Bring water, sun protection and comfortable shoes because shade is scarce, especially around midday. In summer we recommend an early-morning or late-afternoon visit; we can adjust timings to help avoid the heat.
