Prepare to be enchanted as we explore the most attractive sights of this historic Mediterranean city.
Our first stop is the famous Pompey’s Pillar, an architectural marvel dedicated to Emperor Diocletian and dating back to the late fourth century. Originally part of the Temple of Serapis, this imposing column still inspires awe with its grandeur and rich history.
Next, we descend into the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, a remarkable Roman necropolis carved deep into the rock and spread across three levels. Here, you’ll step back in time and experience the fascinating blend of cultures that shaped Alexandria.
After a morning of discovery, we’ll pause for a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, where you can savor authentic Alexandrian flavors before continuing our adventure.
In the afternoon, we visit the Citadel of Qaitbay, a fortress built on the site of the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria—one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Walk through its mighty walls and enjoy panoramic views of the city and the Mediterranean Sea.
Our final stop is the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, a modern masterpiece that revives the spirit of the ancient library once considered the greatest in antiquity. Inside, you’ll uncover treasures of literature, art, and history that celebrate Alexandria’s enduring cultural legacy.
As the day comes to an end, Gate2Egypt will ensure your comfortable return to Cairo, leaving you with unforgettable memories of Alexandria’s timeless charm and heritage.
