- Cairo - Depart from the vibrant energy of Cairo and journey towards the Mediterranean coast in a private, air-conditioned vehicle. The drive to Alexandria takes approximately 2.5 to 3 hours, traversing diverse landscapes of desert roads and lush farmland. It’s a smooth, comfortable ride — ideal for relaxing, conversing with your guide, or gaining a deeper insight into Egypt beyond the capital.
- Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa - Venture beneath the surface of Alexandria to explore one of its most fascinating underground sites, the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa. This multi-level burial complex uniquely combines Egyptian, Greek, and Roman influences. As you descend the spiral staircase, your guide will unveil stories hidden within the carvings, statues, and chambers that once housed noble families.
- Pompey’s Pillar - Towering dramatically above the surrounding ruins, Pompey’s Pillar is one of Alexandria’s most iconic landmarks. This enormous red granite column stands as a testament to the Roman era, surrounded by the remnants of an ancient temple complex. It’s an excellent stop to appreciate the scale of Roman engineering while your guide shares the true story behind its misleading name.
- Alexandria - Take a well-deserved break and enjoy a freshly prepared lunch at a local restaurant in Alexandria. With the Mediterranean breeze in the air, this is your opportunity to relax and savor authentic Egyptian flavors — often featuring fresh seafood or classic local dishes, depending on your preference.
- Qaitbay Citadel - Situated along the sparkling coastline, the Citadel of Qaitbay stands on the very site of the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Walk along its stone walls, enjoy sweeping sea views, and imagine the ships that once navigated this historic harbor.
- Bibliotheca Alexandrina - Conclude your exploration at the modern architectural marvel of the Bibliotheca Alexandrina. Built to revive the spirit of the ancient Library of Alexandria, this cultural center combines cutting-edge design with a profound respect for knowledge and history. Inside, you’ll find vast reading halls, exhibitions, and a serene atmosphere that beautifully contrasts with the bustling city outside.
- Alexandria - As the day draws to a close, settle back into your private vehicle for the return journey to Cairo. The evening drive offers a peaceful moment to reflect on everything you’ve experienced — from underground tombs to seaside fortresses.
