Itinerary
We will pick you up from your hotel in Cairo and start with you an amazing day trip to Alexandria. First, we will visit Pompay’s Pillar. It was constructed in honor of Emperor Diocletian at the end of the 4th century. Originally from the temple of the Serapis, it was once a magnificent structure rivaling the Soma and the Caesarean.
Then we continue the tour with a visit to the Catacombs, which are the largest Roman Cemetery consisting of three levels cut in the rock.
Lunch will be served at a local restaurant in Alexandria, and then we proceed to see the Qaitbay Citadel, which was built on the site of the ancient pharaohs (lighthouse) of Alexandria.
Afterward, we will proceed with the Bibliotheca Alexandria. Finally, you will be transferred back to your hotel in Cairo.

Even though you'd regret taking a one-day-only tour, Alexandria is a must on any trip to Egypt. If you had the chance to read Lawrence Durrell The Alexandria Quartet, you will feel pretty much at ease with names, neighbourhoods and the Great Corniche.There are so many things to see and admire even though you'll be wondering how would it look like if the famous Lighthouse was still in good standing. Relax and enjoy this truly beautiful city!
