Gabbari necropolis

Alexandria, Egypt

The Gabbari Necropolis is an Alexandria's City of the Dead in Lower Egypt. It is described as a site "of the utmost importance for the preservation of the cultural heritage" and one of the world's largest necropoli. The necropolis is for the dead of middle classes of the first generations of Alexandria (3 BCE); however the discoveries are unpredictable. Archeologists have so far found funerary dining rooms only 20 inches beneath the soil's surface, and 33 feet deeper a huge, seven-level tomb was discovered. The area of Gabbari Necropolis is now known locally with the name of "Kom El Malh"
