Here’s an overview of your tour

Start your day bright and early with a 6:30 a.m. pick-up from your Cairo location for a scenic 3-hour drive to the historic city of Alexandria. Begin your adventure by exploring The Great Temple and the towering Pompey Pillar, then visit the smaller yet captivating Alexandria Library. Dive into history at the Catacombs of Kom Al-Shoqafa, an ancient necropolis with a fascinating blend of Roman, Greek, and Egyptian cultural elements.

Next, discover the majestic Citadel of Sultan Qaitbay, a 15th-century fortress, and visit the beautiful Mosque of Sufi Saint Morsi Abu al-Abbas, where you are kindly reminded to dress modestly for entry. Enhance your experience with an optional delightful lunch, savoring local flavors and dishes.

After a day of exploration, relax on the 3-hour drive back to Cairo. Please note that all my tour itineraries, including this one, can be tailored, expanded, or shortened to accommodate your specific interests or group size upon request. Experience the best of Alexandria with a knowledgeable guide, ensuring a memorable and enriching journey through one of Egypt’s most storied cities.
