Itinerary
Begin your journey with a private transfer from your hotel in Cairo to the historic coastal city of Alexandria, once the capital of Roman Egypt and a melting pot of ancient cultures.
Your first visit is the world-renowned Library of Alexandria, a symbol of knowledge and learning inspired by the ancient Great Library. This modern cultural complex is a hub for literature, science, and the arts, housing millions of books and remarkable exhibits.
- Continue to the Qaitbay Citadel, a magnificent 15th-century fortress built by Sultan Qaitbay on the exact site of the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the original Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, the citadel once protected the city from naval invasions and remains one of Alexandria’s most iconic landmarks.
Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant, featuring fresh Mediterranean cuisine and authentic Egyptian flavors.
- Next, explore the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages. This unique necropolis blends Pharaonic, Greek, and Roman styles and offers a fascinating glimpse into Alexandria’s multicultural past through its multi-level tombs and carvings.
- Conclude your visit with a stop at Pompey’s Pillar, a towering granite column standing nearly 27 meters high. Dating back to the Roman era, it was erected in honor of Emperor Diocletian and remains one of the city’s most striking monuments.
- After a full day of exploration, return to your hotel in Cairo for an overnight stay.
