Itinerary
1
Alexandria
Get ready for an exciting adventure starting from your hotel. At the agreed time, you'll meet our knowledgeable Egyptologist Guide and skilled driver in the hotel lobby. We'll take a scenic drive along the Mediterranean coastline to Alexandria (about 3 Hrs. Driving). Upon arrival, we'll drive along the Cornish to see the whole city, passing over a bridge of Stanly, an unknown soldier of Alexandria, and the statue of Alexander the Great.
4 hours

Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa
Our first stop is the impressive catacombs of Kom El-Shuqqafa. These ancient burial chambers date back to the 2nd century AD and combine Egyptian, Greek, and Roman styles. It's a fascinating place that shows the diverse heritage of the region.
1 hour
3
Ancient Roman Amphitheater
Then, we'll explore the Roman amphitheater. It's an incredibly well-preserved theater from the Roman era, made of marble and able to seat up to 800 people. Around the amphitheater, you'll find remnants of Roman baths, villas with beautiful galleries, mosaic floors, and even a pleasant garden.
We'll continue our journey to the Citadel of Qaitbay, a defensive fortress built in the 15th century on the Mediterranean coast. It stands where the famous Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, once existed. The citadel is imposing and has significant historical importance.
1 hour

Biblioteca de Alexandria
Our last destination is the modern Alexandria Library. It's a striking example of contemporary architecture and a stark contrast to the ancient wonders of Egypt. Inside, you can explore the library at your own pace while our local guide shares interesting insights.
** Alexandria Library is closed on Fridays.
As the day ends, we'll say goodbye to Alexandria and head back to your hotel in Cairo.
