Itinerary
-
Day Trip to Alexandria
- Travel from your hotel in Cairo to Alexandria with your tour guide/ driver.
- Visit Pompey’s Pillar, which dates back to the 4th century, the largest and only known pillar currently standing from Roman Egypt. It is a beautiful and tall pillar that stands 82-feet in height. The pilar was built to honour Emperor Diocletian in AD 297. Touted as the ‘newest’ of the ancient places to visit, this is a great place to explore.
- Check out the Catacombs, the largest Roman Cemetery in the world. It is three levels of tombs carved out of a rock face. It's one of the Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages and is an amazing place to appreciate the vast history of Egypt.
- Have lunch at a local restaurant.
- Explore the Qaitbay Citadel, a fort built on the Mediterranean Sea in 1477. This stunning structure is not only one of the most important forts on the Mediterranean Sea but also an architectural marvel.
- Travel to the Bibliotheca Alexandria, the modern library that is the heart of Alexandrian culture today.
- Drive back to your hotel in Cairo after an adventurous day in Alexandria.
