Highlights

Alexandria - At 6, 7, 8, or 9 am, we begin your tour of Alexandria, Egypt’s second-largest city and its capital for nearly a thousand years. Founded by Alexander the Great, Alexandria has a Mediterranean atmosphere and is renowned for its Roman ruins.
Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa - Your first stop in this historic city is the catacombs, the largest Roman cemetery with three levels carved into the rock from the 1st or 2nd century.
Pompey’s Pillar - Known as Egypt’s most esteemed memorial column, Pompey’s Pillar is a significant historical monument. Made from solid red granite, it stands about 28 meters tall with a base diameter of 2.7 meters. The upper part of the western side features a Greek inscription honoring Emperor Diocletian for his justice and protection of Alexandria, and Postumus, the Prefect of Egypt, who supervised its construction. This pillar is a testament to Egypt’s rich heritage.
Qaytbay Castle - Visit from the outside. Note: The Qaitbay Citadel in Alexandria is one of Egypt’s most crucial defensive strongholds along the Mediterranean coast. Built in the 15th century A.D., it was vital to Alexandria’s defenses. Located at the entrance of the eastern harbor on Pharos Island, it was constructed on the site of the Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The lighthouse functioned until the Arab conquest, despite several disasters altering its shape. Restoration began around 880 A.D. under Ahmed Ibn Tulun. An earthquake in the 11th century damaged the octagonal part, leaving the bottom to serve as a watchtower with a small mosque on top. A destructive earthquake in the 14th century destroyed the building. Optional stop for lunch at the fish market.
Bibliotheca Alexandria - The Library of Alexandria, built in the third century BC by Ptolemy I Soter, was one of the ancient world’s most famous and influential libraries. Located in Alexandria, it housed a vast collection of books and manuscripts on philosophy, mathematics, science, and literature, becoming a center of learning and culture. The library’s collection, said to contain up to 500,000 scrolls, was one of the largest in the ancient world and hosted famous scholars like Euclid and Eratosthenes.
Cairo - Transfer back to Cairo with our private car and guide.
