• Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa - Drive to Alexandria, 220 km northeast of Cairo, approximately a 3-hour journey, to visit your first attraction: The Catacombs Tomb. Built between the 2nd and 4th centuries by the Romans and accidentally discovered in 1900 AD, it is one of the largest necropolises. It features a series of Alexandrian tombs, statues, and archaeological objects that blend Pharaonic funeral traditions with Hellenistic and early Imperial Roman influences.

• Pompey’s Pillar - Afterward, travel 2 km from the Catacombs to Pompey’s Pillar. This Roman triumphal column is one of the largest of its kind constructed outside the imperial capitals of Rome and Constantinople. Located at the Serapeum of Alexandria, it is the only known free-standing column in Roman Egypt not made of drums. It is one of the largest ancient monoliths and one of the largest monolithic columns ever erected.

• Kayetbai - Next, drive to the shore of Alexandria to the site of one of the ancient Seven Wonders, the old lighthouse, which was completely destroyed and replaced by Qaitbay Castle, built in the 15th century. Enjoy a walk around the exterior and take the opportunity to photograph the famous Abu-Alabbas Al-Mursi Mosque. Drive along the Corniche of Alexandria with a stop at the Alexandria Bibliotheca, the world’s leading library, housing over 8 million books.

• Montazah Gardens - After traversing modern Alexandria, you will arrive at the Montazah Palace, formerly known as King Farouk’s Palace.

• El Alamein War Cemetery - The following day, visit the renowned World War II battlefield in El Alamein City, located 106 km west of Alexandria. The site features a war museum with artifacts from the Civil War and other North African battles, as well as several military cemeteries for German, Italian, Greek, and Commonwealth soldiers.
