Mustafa Kamel Necropolis
مقابر مصطفى كامل
Hellenistic underground tombs from the 2nd century BC, with a well-preserved Doric colonnaded courtyard and cavalry wall paintings, and few visitors.
The necropolis is near a military camp in the Rushdy district and contains four underground tombs. Tomb No. 1 is the most notable. It surrounds an open-air courtyard with Doric columns and sphinxes, and the burial chamber retains a fresco of a horseman pouring a libation. It is a representative example of Greek-style Ptolemaic tombs. Admission is about 100 EGP, and a visit takes about 30 minutes. It is about 1.5 km from Stanley Bridge and can be combined with the Royal Jewelry Museum.
