• Cairo - The day begins at 7:00 am with a pickup from your hotel in either Cairo or Giza by a tour guide. You will be transferred in a private air-conditioned vehicle to Alexandria, which is 220 km from Cairo. Arrival in Alexandria is around 10 am, where your day tour will commence. Alexandria is Egypt’s second-largest city and the largest on the Mediterranean coast, located at the western edge of the Nile River delta. Founded around 331 BC by Alexander the Great, it quickly became a major center of Hellenic civilization, eventually replacing Memphis, now part of Greater Cairo, as Egypt’s capital. Known internationally as the “Bride of the Mediterranean,” Alexandria is a popular tourist destination and a significant industrial hub due to its natural gas and oil pipelines from Suez.

• Ancient Roman Amphitheater - Roman theaters evolved from earlier Greek theaters, with much of their architectural influence coming from the Greeks. Unlike Greek theaters, Roman theaters were typically built on their own foundations rather than on earthen works or hillsides and were completely enclosed on all sides.

• Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa - Next, visit the Catacombs of Kom El-Shoqafa, which feature tombs on three levels and include the Triclinium, where relatives would sit on stone benches to honor the deceased. The site also has reliefs of bearded serpents and 2nd-century AD statues of Sobek and Anubis dressed in Roman armor.

• Alexandria Library - The Great Library of Alexandria was one of the largest and most significant libraries of the ancient world. It was part of a larger research institution called the Mouseion, dedicated to the Muses, the nine goddesses of the arts. The concept of a universal library in Alexandria may have been proposed by Demetrius of Phalerum to Ptolemy I Soter, who likely initiated plans for the Library, though it was probably constructed during the reign of his son, Ptolemy II Philadelphus. The Library amassed a vast collection of papyrus scrolls, with estimates ranging from 40,000 to 400,000 at its peak, thanks to the Ptolemaic kings’ aggressive and well-funded acquisition policies.

• Qaytbay Castle - The Citadel of Qaitbay, also known as the Fort of Qaitbay, is a 15th-century defensive fortress located on the Mediterranean coast in Alexandria, Egypt. Constructed between 1477 and 1479 AD by Sultan Al-Ashraf Sayf al-Din Qa’it Bay, the Citadel is situated on the eastern side of the northern tip of Pharos Island at the entrance of the Eastern Harbour.

• Mosque of Abu al-Abbas al-Mursi - The Abu al-Abbas al-Mursi Mosque is a historic mosque in Alexandria, named after the 13th-century mystic Abu’l Abbas al-Mursi, who is buried there along with members of the Ashraf family.
