Beneath Alexandria

​One of the tunnels under one of the old properties on Fouad Street, we see what we used to hear about in the stories of our ancestors, and today we are the ones who pass through one of these basements below Fouad Street, one of the oldest streets in the world for more than 2,300 years ...

During our interview with Mr. Wael Azab, his office located on Fouad Street, and while talking about the history of Alexandria’s streets ... our conversation touched the water cistern that are located below Alexandria’s streets, we also talked about the tunnels below Fouad Street, including this basement below his office. This is amazing!
There are other paths below Fouad Street that goes across Al-Battalsa Street, but there's no confirmed information about the history of those, except that they were built between 1890 -1900.
The secrets of Alexandria will remain surrounded by mysteries...​
