Tomb of Alexander the Great
is inspired by Nabi Daniel Mosque area (traditional site of the Soma), Alexandria, Egypt
Inspired by a real place
How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
Alexander's resting place beneath Alexandria, which Bayek enters during the story.
The real place
The Soma, where Ptolemy I placed Alexander's body, has never been found despite well over a hundred recorded searches. Old theories put it near the Nabi Daniel Mosque or the crossroads of the ancient Canopic Way.
Visiting
There is no tomb to see, only the city-centre streets that may cover it. Dress modestly if you visit the mosque, and avoid prayer times.
