Alexandria Day Tour from Cairo

About this tour

Our tour guide will pick you up from your hotel in Cairo and travel to Alexandria. Start the tour with the Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa; the necropolis of 3 sub-levels dating from the 2nd century AD merges aspects of Egyptian, Greek, and Roman culture in its features. See the Roman triclinium—a banquet hall to honor the dead—as well as statues, reliefs, and a pillared lobby featuring depictions of Egyptian gods in Roman armor.

Continue your tour by the Library of Alexandria, the biggest library in the world—now with 8 million books. Visit its open court, where you can see the statue of Alexander the Great and the statue of Ptolemy the First, which was found underwater nearby. Ptolemy built the original library, and he now proudly stands outside the library, overseeing the new library.

Then, you will stop for lunch in a nice local restaurant.

The car will then take you to the gardens of Montaza. The beautiful coastline and all the views of the city are en route to Montaza Palace and gardens, which are approximately 25 km away, including the old harbor of Alexandria, where we found 7000 monuments underwater.

Later, drive to Qaitbay Citadel, which was the lighthouse of Alexandria; you will have free time to walk around the area to enjoy the scenery and the breeze of the Mediterranean Sea.

On your way back, you will stop over the famous bridge of Stanley – the modern landmark of modern Alexandria—then travel in comfort back to your hotel.
