Abstract
This thesis is entitled “Public Presentation of the Pharos UW Archaeological Site”, where the main focus lies on educating the public about the UCH through 4 guided Tour Trails done UW for the Pharos site.
The thesis starts with an introduction showing the different submerged sites of the city of Alexandria; from the western harbor in the west to Aboukir in the east. Little explanation is shed on each one of those sites. Then the thesis is divided into three chapters as follows.
The First Chapter entitled; Underwater Tour Trails of Other Countries, shows some of the tour trails already existing in different countries of the world. The British tour trail HMS Colossus is a very well planned tour trail, so simple to copy and very applicable. That’s why the researcher thinks that it is better to copy the same theme though it is done for a shipwreck not an archaeological monumental site. Caesarea Israel UW tour trail in comparison is mostly archaeological and monumental. This same chapter also comprises a few more trails in England and the United States.
A team of CEAlex archaeologists (the Center for Alexandrian Studies), in cooperation with the SCA did an extensive survey to determine the extent of the Pharos site, the number, size, and importance of the pieces. More than 5000 artefacts were documented, from pharaonic; papyroform columns, capitals, obelisks, sphinxes, and lintels to an enormous collection of Greco-Roman; columns, capitals, bases, and statues in granite, quartzite, diorite, basalt, and marble. The site contained blocks that once belonged to the lighthouse, and the remains of some other buildings that existed on the island of Pharos, and that most of them were recycled from pre-existing structures in the Nile Delta and Heliopolis.That’s why in this thesis The Second Chapter entitled; The Pharos Site: The Suggested Planning of Four Guided Tour Trails is dedicated to studying the pharos site; its archaeology, its monuments, the fabulous statues and engraved blocks scattered across the sea floor. Four Underwater Guided Tour Trails are proposed by the researcher in this chapter for 46 monuments, as well as the methodology of applying those trail route. The researcher set scheme as to the measures of the inlaying of those Tour Trails, and the different natural and human challenges that they face.
The Third Chapter entitled; Management of the Qaitbay Fort is all about the management of the Fort of Qaitbay in the best way to fit in a Cultural Center and a Diving Center with both of their Utilities, as the Fort covers up all the justifications for housing them, without interfering with the Fort itself regarding its architecture, or with the tourists’ course visiting a Meadville Fort.
The first part of this chapter discus the vacant rooms in the main tower, and the open court yard of the Fort as a place where we can fit in a Cultural Center.
The second part of this chapter discus the using of some of the northern coast passages or the canons’ housing to fit a Diving Center, so as to start the dive viewing the monuments under the water.
For better results of the role of the Cultural Center and the Diving Center some Utilities should be fixed in which are detailed in the third part of the same chapter.
