Alexandria City Highlights

Meet your tour guide at a pre-decided location in Cairo and make your way to Alexandria.
Make your way to the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa and admire the Alexandrian necropolis with a fusion of Egyptian, Greek, and Roman art.
Proceed to the Citadel of Qaitbay, a fifteenth-century defensive fortress built on the site of the legendary Alexandria Lighthouse.
Admire a stunning view of the Mediterranean Sea from Stanley Bridge. This bridge has a total length of 400 meters with 6 spans and was the first bridge in Egypt to be constructed into the sea. A masterpiece of architectural precision, the bridge preserves the cosmopolitan aesthetic of Alexandria.
Marvel at the Montaza Palace, built by King Fuad I in 1932 in a mixture of Ottoman and Florentine styles. Enjoy a relaxing stroll through the palace gardens.
