Abstract

Alexandria flourished as a significant maritime economic center due to its ideal location, which connected the Mediterranean with the Red Sea and facilitated commerce between Africa, Asia, and Europe. Many traders, sailors, and merchants from many parts of the ancient globe flocked to the city's bustling harbors to bring goods, ideas, and civilizations. Alexandria's cosmopolitan setting encouraged a complex tapestry of traditions, languages, and faiths, resulting in a melting pot of many communities. Alexandria had an essential role in the diffusion of various sciences and arts to various parts of the world Due to the existence of the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, the House of Science, and the Roman Amphitheatre of Kom El-Dekka. In the heart of Alexandria, Egypt, stands the beautiful Kom El-Dekka Roman Amphitheatre, a tribute to the city's rich heritage and long history. Tourists are enthralled by the Roman-era theater's architectural beauty and historical relevance, which offer a fascinating window into the culture's theatrical and entertainment customs of that period. This study aimed to preserve Alexandria's great heritage by reviving the ancient Egyptian theatrical performances to be performed in the Roman theater of Kom El Dekka.
