Itinerary

Begin your journey with a visit to Pompey’s Pillar, an impressive Roman monument constructed in honor of Emperor Diocletian at the end of the 4th century AD. Originally part of the great Serapeum Temple, this towering column once stood among magnificent structures rivaling the Soma and the Caesareum.
Next, continue to the Catacombs of Kom El-Shoqafa, the largest Roman burial site in Egypt, featuring three underground levels carved into the rock and blending Pharaonic, Greek, and Roman artistic styles.
Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant in Alexandria, offering a taste of authentic Egyptian cuisine.
After lunch, visit the iconic Citadel of Qaitbay, built on the exact location of the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria (Pharos)—one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World—overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.
Then proceed to the modern landmark Bibliotheca Alexandrina, a striking cultural center and a revival of the ancient Library of Alexandria.
At the end of the tour, you will be transferred back to your hotel in Alexandria in comfort.
