Guided Tour of Alexandria

Discover the historical heritage of this city founded by Alexander the Great, where Greek, Roman, and Egyptian cultures mix.

Itinerary

We will pick you up at your hotel or in the port in Alexandria. Our first destination is the Qaitbay Citadel, a fortress facing the Mediterranean, built using remains from the destroyed Lighthouse of Alexandria. Next, we will visit the Kom el Shoqafa catacombs, exploring the tunnels filled with reliefs that combine Egyptian and Greco-Roman styles. Nearby, we will see Pompey's Pillar, a remnant of the ancient temple dedicated to the god Serapis.

After these visits, we will stop for lunch on the banks of the Mediterranean, enjoying Alexandrian specialties such as fish and rice with seafood. The afternoon includes a visit to the New Alexandria Library, a modern tribute to the ancient library that was home to an important papyrus collection.

After the guided tour, we will return you to your hotel or the port.
