• Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa - Begin your delightful day by meeting your guide at your hotel. Travel via the highway from Cairo (approximately a 3-hour drive each way) to the renowned city. Upon arrival, embark on a journey through Alexandria with your tour guide, who will share the ancient history of the city. Start with the necropolis, which comprises a series of Alexandrian tombs, statues, and archaeological artifacts from the Pharaonic funeral cult, influenced by Hellenistic and early Imperial Roman styles. Due to the era, many features of the catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa blend Roman elements.
• Pompey’s Pillar - The second attraction is Pompey’s Pillar. Its name is misleading, as this solitary column on a rocky hilltop in Alexandria has no connection to the Roman Consul and General Gaius Pompey, Julius Caesar’s rival in a civil war, who was killed by a Ptolemaic pharaoh in 48 BC after fleeing to Alexandria. This myth was propagated by Crusaders, who believed the 100-foot (30-meter) red Aswan granite pillar marked his burial site. Instead, the pillar is a triumphal monument erected around 300 AD for the Roman Emperor.
• Fort Qaitbey - The third stop is the Citadel of Qaitbay, a 15th-century defensive fortress located on the Mediterranean Sea coast in Alexandria, Egypt. It was established in 1477 AD (882 AH) by Sultan Al-Ashraf Sayf al-Din Qa’it Bay. The Citadel is positioned on the eastern side of the northern tip of Pharos Island at the entrance of the Eastern Harbour.
• Bibliotheca Alexandrina - This is one of the most famous libraries in Egypt. The Great Library of Alexandria in Alexandria, Egypt, was one of the largest and most significant libraries of the ancient world. The Library was part of a larger research institution called the Mouseion, dedicated to the Muses, the nine goddesses of the arts. The concept of a universal library in Alexandria may have been suggested by Demetrius of Phalerum, an exiled Athenian statesman residing in Alexandria, to Ptolemy I Soter, who may have initiated plans for the Library. However, the Library itself was likely constructed during the reign of his son, Ptolemy II Philadelphus. The Library rapidly amassed numerous papyrus scrolls, largely due to the Ptolemaic kings’ aggressive and well-funded text acquisition policies. The exact number of scrolls housed at any given time is unknown, but estimates range from 40,000 to 400,000 at its peak. Please note that it is closed on Fridays.
• Lighthouse of Alexandria - The Lighthouse of Alexandria, also known as the Pharos of Alexandria, was a lighthouse constructed by the Ptolemaic Kingdom during the reign of Ptolemy II…
• Ancient Roman Amphitheater - Roman amphitheaters are large, circular or oval open-air venues with raised seating, built by the ancient Romans. They were used for events such as gladiator combats, venations (animal slayings), and executions. Approximately 230 Roman amphitheaters have been discovered across the Roman Empire. Early amphitheaters date from the republican period, though they became more monumental during the imperial era.
