Day 04

Alexandria Day Tour to Qaitbay, Mosque and Montazah

  • After breakfast at the hotel, travel to Alexandria to enjoy a panoramic view of Fort Qaitbay Citadel. This fort was built in the 1480s by Sultan Qaitbey on the site of Alexandria's ancient lighthouse. Remnants of the lighthouse can still be seen in the construction of the old fort. One of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the lighthouse was an astonishing 125 meters high and contained some 300 rooms for workers.
  • Then transfer for a break at an Egyptian restaurant and have lunch before going to pray at Al Morssy Abou Al Abbas Mosque. Continue to El Montazah Gardens. This 114-acre complex belonged to the family of Mohamed Ali, which ruled Egypt from the mid-19th century until 1952. It is surrounded by great walls from the south, east, and west, and by a beach to the north.
  • The complex is adorned with beautiful gardens and palm trees, making it an ideal stop in Alexandria. The construction began in 1892 under King Abbas II, who built a large palace inside the complex called the Salamlek. In 1932, King Fuad built a larger palace and called it the Haramlik. His son, King Farouk, built a bridge to the sea to serve as a waterfront. The rest of the 114 acres is filled with beautiful gardens, while palm trees and gazelles cover the area. This is a wonderful spot to enjoy the beauty of Alexandria before returning to your hotel in Cairo for an overnight stay.
