Description

Leave Cairo behind and travel to Alexandria, Egypt's legendary Mediterranean city. With your Egyptologist guide, discover how Egyptian, Greek, Roman, and Islamic history shaped one of the ancient world's most influential cities. After pickup from your accommodation, relax in an air-conditioned vehicle during the journey north. Your first major experience is the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, where underground burial chambers reveal a fascinating blend of Egyptian and Greco-Roman traditions. Descend beneath the city and explore one of Alexandria's most distinctive archaeological sites. Continue to the Serapeum of Alexandria, once one of the city's most important religious complexes. Discover the archaeological remains and see the famous site of Pompey's Pillar, a striking monument that recalls Alexandria's Roman past. Next, visit Kom El-Dikka, home to Alexandria's famous Roman theater and surrounding archaeological remains. Walk among traces of ancient baths, residences, mosaics, and spaces that offer a glimpse into the daily life of the Roman and Byzantine city. Pause for lunch at a local restaurant before continuing your journey through Alexandria. Stop outside the striking Bibliotheca Alexandrina for photographs and views of one of modern Alexandria's most recognizable landmarks. Finish your Alexandria experience at Qaitbay Citadel, dramatically positioned on the Mediterranean coast. Built in the late 15th century on the site associated with the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria, the fortress offers one of the day's strongest historical and photographic experiences. After exploring the citadel with your guide, relax on your journey back to Cairo with unforgettable memories of Egypt's Mediterranean capital.
