Full-Day Historical Alexandria Tour
After breakfast, at around 7:00 AM, your guide will pick you up from your hotel in Cairo for a full-day tour of Alexandria.
Your first stop will be Pompey’s Pillar, an impressive Roman triumphal column located at the site of the ancient Temple of Serapis and attributed to Pompey.
Next, explore the Catacombs of Kom al Shuqafa, one of Alexandria’s most significant underground burial sites, dating back to the 2nd century AD. These catacombs uniquely blend Hellenistic and Pharaonic art, reflecting Alexandria’s rich cultural heritage.
You’ll then have an opportunity to view the Alexandria Library from the outside, an iconic modern structure inspired by the city’s ancient library, once the largest and most famous library of the ancient world.
Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant before continuing to Qaitbay Fort, an impressive fortress built by Sultan Qaitbay in the 15th century, standing on the site of the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
At the end of the tour, your guide will transfer you back to your hotel in Cairo.
