Overview
A guided route along the Mediterranean coast turns a single day into a sweep through Alexandria‘s layered past, beginning with a private pickup from your Cairo hotel and a comfortable air-conditioned drive north. Descend into the multi-level Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, where Egyptian, Greek and Roman funerary art meet underground, then trace the ancient temple grounds of the Serapeum beneath towering Pompey’s Pillar. Walk the tiers of the well-preserved Roman Theater at Kom El-Deka, pause for a relaxed lunch at a local restaurant, and photograph the sweeping modern Library of Alexandria. The day closes at the sea-facing Qaitbay Citadel, raised on the site of the legendary lighthouse, before a private drive back to your Cairo hotel.
