Itinerary
- Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa: Step beneath the streets of Alexandria into a labyrinth of Roman-era tombs carved deep into the rock. This remarkable necropolis combines Egyptian, Greek, and Roman art styles in hauntingly beautiful reliefs and sculptures. Your guide will walk you through chambers, burial niches, and the famous Hall of Caracalla, revealing the stories of a civilization that blended ancient traditions with Roman influence.
- Pompey's Pillar: Marvel at one of Alexandria’s last standing monuments of antiquity — the towering Pompey’s Pillar. This 26-meter granite column, dating back to the 3rd century, stands as a tribute to Emperor Diocletian. Surrounded by sphinxes and ancient ruins, your guide will explain its historical context and debunk the myths behind its name.
- Citadel of Qaitbay: Perched on the site of the legendary Lighthouse of Alexandria, this 15th-century fortress offers panoramic views over the Mediterranean Sea. Walk through its stone corridors and courtyards as your guide shares tales of sultans, sea battles, and the once-mighty Pharos that stood in its place.
- Alexandria Library: End your cultural journey at the stunning Bibliotheca Alexandrina — a modern homage to the ancient world’s greatest library. With its sleek design and massive reading halls, the library is a hub of learning and architecture. Your guide will introduce you to its museums, exhibitions, and the spirit of knowledge that once made Alexandria the intellectual heart of the ancient world.
