• Alexandria Library - Begin your full-day tour with a pickup from Alexandria by our tour guide. The Great Library of Alexandria, located in Alexandria, Egypt, was one of the largest and most important libraries of the ancient world. It was part of a larger research institution known as the Mouseion, dedicated to the Muses, the nine goddesses of the arts. The concept of a universal library in Alexandria may have been suggested by Demetrius of Phalerum, an exiled Athenian statesman residing in Alexandria, to Ptolemy I Soter, who possibly initiated plans for the Library. However, the Library itself was likely constructed during the reign of his son, Ptolemy II Philadelphus. The Library rapidly amassed numerous papyrus scrolls, thanks to the Ptolemaic kings’ proactive and well-funded strategies for acquiring texts. The exact number of scrolls housed at any given time is unknown, but estimates range from 40,000 to 400,000 at its peak.
• Cairo Citadel - The Citadel of Qaitbay (or the Fort of Qaitbay; Arabic: قلعة قايتباي) is a 15th-century defensive fortress situated on the Mediterranean Sea coast in Alexandria, Egypt. It was constructed between 1477 and 1479 AD (882–884 AH) by Sultan Al-Ashraf Sayf al-Din Qa’it Bay. The Citadel is located on the eastern side of the northern tip of Pharos Island at the entrance of the Eastern Harbour.
• Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa - The catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa (Arabic: مقابر كوم الشقافة, romanized: Maqābir Kūm al-Shuqāfah, lit. ’Mound of Shards’) is a historical archaeological site in Alexandria, Egypt, and is regarded as one of the Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages.

The necropolis comprises a series of Alexandrian tombs, statues, and archaeological artifacts of the Pharaonic funerary cult with Hellenistic and early Imperial Roman influences. Due to the era, many features of the catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa blend Roman, Greek, and Egyptian cultural elements; some statues are Egyptian in style but wear Roman attire and hairstyles, while other features share a similar style. A circular staircase, often used to transport deceased bodies, leads down into the tombs that were carved into the bedrock during the age of the Antonine emperors.

• Ancient Roman Theater, Alexandria - The Roman Theater is a neighborhood and archaeological site in Alexandria, Egypt. Early Kom El-Dikka was a prosperous residential area, later becoming a major civic center in Alexandria, featuring a bath complex (thermae), auditoria (lecture halls), and a theatre. Today, Kom el-Dikka is the largest and most complete above-ground archaeological site in Alexandria. It offers extensive archaeological evidence of urban life in Roman Egypt, including early villas and their mosaics, and late Roman public works.
• Mosque of Abu al-Abbas al-Mursi - The Abu al-Abbas al-Mursi Mosque (Arabic: جامع أبو العباس المرسي) is an Egyptian mosque in Alexandria. The historic mosque is named after the 13th-century mystic Abu’l Abbas al-Mursi, who is also interred there along with members of the Ashraf family.

History
Abul Abbas al-Mursi passed away in 1286 and was buried in a small cemetery within the Bab al-Bahr locality. Subsequently, a small qubba was erected over it, which developed into a shrine. In 1307, a mosque was constructed over the shrine, funded by Zain al-Din al-Qattan, a merchant and Sufi shaykh of Alexandria. The Mamluk emir of Alexandria later rebuilt the mosque in 1477.
