A representative from Visitors Egypt Tour will collect you from your Cairo hotel for an exciting day trip to Alexandria. We’ll start by visiting Pompay’s Pillar, constructed to honor Emperor Diocletian towards the end of the 4th century. Originating from the Serapis temple, it was once a striking edifice rivaling the Soma and the Caesarean. Following this, you’ll be taken to the Catacombs, the largest Roman Cemetery comprising of three tiers carved into rock. After having lunch at a local eatery in Alexandria, we’ll continue to the Qaitbay Citadel, built upon the site of ancient pharaohs’ (lighthouse) in Alexandria, then onto the Bibliotheca Alexandrina. To conclude the day, you’ll be driven back to your Cairo accommodation.
