Cleopatra's city, lies at the bottom of Alexandria's harbour. Archaeologists have found around 6,000 artefacts so far.

She ruled more than 2,000 years ago – but Cleopatra remains one of the most famous regents in the world. 

Now, the queen's reign has come alive in Egypt's second-largest city.

Egyptians parade through the city's streets dressed as soldiers and servants of the queen.

TRT World's Nicholas Morgan has the story.
