Itinerary
1
Alexandria
Alexandria is not just a city by the sea — it’s a story of a world that almost disappeared. Founded by Alexander the Great, this Mediterranean city once held one of the greatest wonders on Earth… and parts of it are now lost beneath the waves.
Stand at Citadel of Qaitbay, where the legendary lighthouse once rose, and imagine a time when this coastline guided ships from across the ancient world.
Walk along the sea, hear the waves, and uncover the hidden layers of a city shaped by Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians. This is not just a tour — it’s a journey into a forgotten past.
Discover the side of Egypt most travelers never see.

Pompey's Pillar
Pompey's Pillar is one of the most iconic Roman monuments in Alexandria and one of the last standing relics of the ancient city. Rising nearly 27 meters high, this massive granite column dominates the ruins of the old Serapeum temple complex.
Despite its name, it has nothing to do with Pompey — it was actually built in honor of the Roman Emperor Diocletian. The pillar stands as a powerful symbol of Roman engineering and the layered history of Alexandria, a city founded by Alexander the Great and shaped by centuries of different civilizations.
Walking around the site, you can still feel the scale of what once was a grand center of learning and culture.
✨ It’s not just a monument… it’s a surviving giant from a lost world.

Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa
The Catacombs of Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa are one of the most mysterious and fascinating underground burial sites in Egypt. Carved deep beneath Alexandria, they represent a unique blend of Egyptian, Greek, and Roman cultures.
Descending into the catacombs feels like stepping into another world — silent corridors, ancient chambers, and walls filled with symbolic carvings that tell stories of life, death, and belief in the afterlife.
Discovered by accident in the early 20th century, this site reveals how ancient civilizations merged traditions in one of the most important cities founded by Alexander the Great.
✨ It’s not just a tomb… it’s a hidden underground city of history.

Fort Qaitbey
Citadel of Qaitbay is one of the most iconic landmarks on Egypt’s Mediterranean coast, standing proudly at the edge of Alexandria’s harbor. Built in the 15th century by Sultan Al-Ashraf Qaitbay, the fortress was constructed on the exact site where the legendary Lighthouse of Alexandria — one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World — once stood.
The citadel was designed to protect the city from naval invasions, but today it serves as a powerful reminder of Alexandria’s strategic and historical importance across centuries.
Walking through its stone walls and towers offers breathtaking sea views and a direct connection to a past where empires rose and fell along this very shoreline.
✨ It’s not just a fortress… it’s a watchtower over lost history
