Alexandria Day Tour

Your adventure begins as your guide greets you at your Alexandria hotel and you set out in a comfortable private vehicle to discover the city’s top attractions. The first destination is the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, a multi-level labyrinth of ancient tombs blending Egyptian, Roman, and Greek influences, complete with the remarkable Triclinium hall once used for family gatherings to honor the departed.

The exploration continues at the Roman Theater, where elegant marble seats and intricate mosaics evoke the grandeur of Alexandria’s Roman era. Next, you'll visit the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, a modern tribute to the legendary library that was an epicenter of ancient learning.

Your journey leads you to Pompey’s Pillar, the imposing column rising above remnants of the Serapeum, before you proceed to the shoreline and the Citadel of Qaitbay. This formidable fortress, built on the original site of the Lighthouse of Alexandria, commands sweeping views of the Mediterranean and offers excellent photo opportunities.

After a delicious lunch at a local eatery, you’ll explore the serene Montaza Palace Gardens, where the exterior of the Montaza Palace and lush grounds provide a tranquil retreat by the sea. The tour concludes with a stop at the iconic Stanley Bridge, where a stroll delivers panoramic views of Alexandria’s modern waterfront.

Following a day rich in history and scenic beauty, you will be returned to your Alexandria hotel, having experienced the city’s essential sights in comfort and depth.
