Coming from Alexandria itself or from the Nile Valley, all of the objects presented here are closely related to the exhibition’s theme of water. Alongside thirty or so original archaeological pieces (statuettes, figurines, wooden sculptures, painted and carved stelae, ceramics, etc.), various documents such as engravings, maps and postcards provide fascinating details on the history of the city.

The exhibition not only highlights water management in the Alexandrian era, but also provides an insight into the importance of the waters of the river Nile in the society, culture and religion of ancient Egypt.
