Full-Day Alexandria Tour from Cairo
- After pick-up from your hotel in Cairo, we head to Alexandria, the Pearl of the Mediterranean Sea.
- First, we visit the Catacombs of Kom al-Shoqafa, a famous burial site similar to those in Rome, featuring a masterfully crafted tomb thought by some scholars to be Cleopatra's.
- Next, we see Pompey's Pillar, a 28-metre-high column at a famous Greco-Roman monument site next to the Temple of Serapis, the main god of Alexandria in the Greek era.
