Alexandria Day Tour

Your adventure begins when your guide meets you at your hotel in Alexandria. Set out in a comfortable private vehicle to explore the city’s most remarkable sites. The first destination is the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, an extraordinary underground necropolis dating back to the 2nd century AD. These tombs uniquely blend Egyptian, Greek, and Roman art and architecture, featuring multiple levels of burial chambers and the Triclinium hall, where families once gathered to honor their loved ones. Continue to the Roman Theater, a well-preserved archaeological site from the Roman era, showcasing marble seating, mosaic floors, and galleries that once hosted large audiences. Next, visit the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, a modern architectural masterpiece that revives the spirit of the ancient Library of Alexandria, once the greatest center of learning in the ancient world. Proceed to Pompey’s Pillar, a massive granite column standing proudly amid the ruins of the Serapeum temple complex. Then, head to the Citadel of Qaitbay, a 15th-century fortress built on the exact location of the legendary Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Enjoy breathtaking views of the Mediterranean and capture memorable photos. Afterward, savor a delicious lunch at a local restaurant before visiting the Montaza Palace Gardens, a serene royal park overlooking the sea. Stroll through the gardens, admire the palace’s exterior, and take in the tranquil surroundings. Before concluding your tour, stop at Stanley Bridge, one of Alexandria’s modern landmarks, for a short walk and panoramic views of the coastline. At the end of the day, you will be comfortably transferred back to your hotel, marking the end of a delightful exploration of Alexandria’s treasures.
