Description

Escape the bustle of Cairo and discover the charm of Alexandria, Egypt's beautiful Mediterranean city, on a private full-day tour. Accompanied by a professional licensed Egyptologist guide, travel in comfort as you explore the city's remarkable blend of Greek, Roman, and Egyptian history.

Begin your journey at the fascinating Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, one of the largest Roman burial sites in Egypt, where Egyptian, Greek, and Roman artistic styles come together in a unique underground complex.

Continue to the impressive Citadel of Qaitbay, a 15th-century fortress overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, built on the site of the legendary Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

Visit the iconic Bibliotheca Alexandrina, a modern tribute to the ancient Library of Alexandria and one of the world's most important cultural centers. If open to visitors, you'll also stop at the Roman Amphitheatre, one of Alexandria's best-preserved Roman monuments.
