Alexandria sightseeing tour
- Following your breakfast, you’ll be taken via our air-conditioned vehicle to start your day trip to Alexandria from Cairo.
- Your tour in Alexandria kicks off with the mysteries of the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa or “Mound of Shards”, which was once a necropolis that mixes Egyptian, Roman, and Greek funerary styles. You’ll see the “Hall of Caracalla” or the Hall of Bones of those murdered by the Roman emperor, Caracalla.
- Next, we’ll move to Pompey’s Pillar, an 88-foot red granite pillar carved with unbelievable engineering precision. The pillar is located at what was once the temple of the Greco-Egyptian god, Serapis.
- Shortly after, we’ll take you on a cultural visit to Bibliotheca Alexandrina, which is marked by its gigantic granite disc and unique inscriptions on its outer walls. From the inside, it includes +8 million books, a planetarium, museums, a restoration laboratory for manuscripts, and art galleries.
- After a local Egyptian cuisine lunch, we’ll continue with the Qaitbay Citadel, a medieval military pearl built over the ruins of the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria. Qaitbay Citadel is known for its thick walls and its defensive capabilities which enabled it to defend Alexandria many times.
- Later, we conclude the day trip to Alexandria from Cairo at the Cornish strolling across Stanley Bridge for serene and calming views of the sea.
