What you can expect

Enjoy a full-day trip to historic city of Alexandria and experience the remnants of a bygone era. After pickup from your hotel in Cairo or Giza you'll drive towards Alexandria, stopping along the way to use the bathroom and get a coffee.

Upon arrival, start your tour of this ancient city. Head towards the marble-stone Roman amphitheatre of Kom El-Deka that once accommodated over 800 visitors. Enjoy the sights of its pleasure garden and mosaic floored Roman baths and villas.

Heading to the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, feel the aura of ancient Egyptian, Greek, and Roman architectural marvels. The cemetery was built in the second century AD and is considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages. We then have the chance to visit Pompey's Pillar, the significant Roman triumphal column in Alexandria, and the well-known Egyptian monument still standing among the ancient remains of the country.

After savouring a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, we enjoy a photo stop at the Library of Alexandria, one of the Ancient World's Largest and Renowned Archives. Stroll along the Citadel of Qaitbay, built above the ruined Alexandria lighthouse. At the end of the tour you'll be driven back to Cairo or Giza to be dropped off at your accommodation.
