At the crack of dawn, more precisely 7.00 AM, a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle will pick you up from your lodging, beginning your journey towards Alexandria, a drive that spans approximately 3 Hrs. Begin your excursion with a visit to the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, architecturally significant remnants of the early 2nd century A.D. Following this, experience the majesty of Pompey’s pillar, a relic of the late 3rd century, along with the ruins of the Serapeum temple, an age-old temple dedicated to god Serapis.

Historically, the site was home to the ancient lighthouse (Pharos), one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, before it was unfortunately completely wiped out. Today, the fort of Qaitbay, a 15th-century CAD architectural marvel, stands impressively in its place.

Concluding the tour, we will explore the Modern Alexandria library. The Old library, celebrated globally, for its large collection of diverse scientific and literary books, unfortunately suffered repeated damage during the Greco Roman period until it disappeared. Replaced with the New Library which was inaugurated in the year 2002, it’s a must-visit in Alexandria, promising you a guided tour inside. Please note that the library is closed on Fridays.
