Pompeys Pillar. So called, in the midst of another large archeological site. We could not get in. The pillar can be seen out to sea and Napoleon mentions seeing it on his approach to Alexandria Harbour in his invasion Flagship l'Orient. L'Orient was to eventually blow up and sink under Nelsons afternoon of artistic gunnery at Aboukir Bay further along the coast.
