Embark on an intriguing private expedition to Alexandria from Cairo, accompanied by your personal Egyptologist guide. Alexandria, Egypt’s second biggest city, exudes a Mediterranean vibe rather than a Middle Eastern one and is renowned for its Roman relics. Your historic journey in this city commences at the catacombs of Kom ash-Shuqqafa, a Roman cemetery where a family tomb enshrines the blend of Egyptian and Roman artistry and construction. Venture underground to explore this tomb and the Caracalla Hall. Proceed to Pompey’s Pillar, an 82-foot granite monolith erected in tribute to Emperor Diocletian. Keeping with the Roman theme, your guide will then lead you to the Roman amphitheater, along with remnants of a Roman street and dwellings. Pause for a meal. Your itinerary includes a visit to the esteemed Alexandria Library. Contrary to the plentiful ancient architecture across Egypt, it stores a copy of every book ever published globally, hence ranking it among the world’s grand literary treasures.
