• Cairo - The tour begins at 7:00 am with a pickup from your hotel in either Cairo or Giza by a tour guide. You will be transferred by a private A/C vehicle to Alexandria, which is 220 km away from Cairo. Arrive in Alexandria around 10 am and start your day tour. Alexandria is the second-largest city in Egypt and the largest city on the Mediterranean coast. It is located at the western edge of the Nile River delta. Founded around 331 BC by Alexander the Great, Alexandria quickly became a major center of Hellenic civilization, eventually replacing Memphis, in present-day Greater Cairo, as Egypt’s capital. Known internationally as the “Bride of the Mediterranean,” Alexandria is a popular tourist destination and an important industrial center due to its natural gas and oil pipelines from Suez.
• Ancient Roman Amphitheater - Roman theatres evolved from earlier Greek theatres. Much of the architectural influence on the Romans came from the Greeks, and theatre design was no exception. However, Roman theatres have specific differences, such as generally being built upon their own foundations instead of earthen works or a hillside and being completely enclosed on all sides.
• Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa - Next, visit the Catacombs of Kom El-Shoqafa. These tombs, spread over three levels, also contain the Triclinium where relatives used to sit on stone benches to feast the dead. The center features reliefs of bearded serpents, and inside are 2nd Century AD statues of Sobek and Anubis wearing Roman armor.
• Alexandria Library - The Great Library of Alexandria in Egypt was one of the largest and most significant libraries of the ancient world. The library was part of a larger research institution called the Mouseion, dedicated to the Muses, the nine goddesses of the arts. The idea of a universal library in Alexandria may have been proposed by Demetrius of Phalerum, an exiled Athenian statesman living in Alexandria, to Ptolemy I Soter, who may have established plans for the Library. However, the Library itself was probably not built until the reign of his son Ptolemy II Philadelphus. The Library quickly acquired many papyrus scrolls, largely due to the Ptolemaic kings’ aggressive and well-funded policies for procuring texts. It is unknown precisely how many scrolls were housed at any given time, but estimates range from 40,000 to 400,000 at its height.
• Rashid Citadel of Qaitbay - The Citadel of Qaitbay (or the Fort of Qaitbay) is a 15th-century defensive fortress located on the Mediterranean sea coast in Alexandria, Egypt. It was built from 1477 to 1479 AD (882–884 AH) 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 mouth of the Eastern Harbour.
• Mosque of Abu al-Abbas al-Mursi - The Abu al-Abbas al-Mursi Mosque is an Egyptian mosque in Alexandria. The historic mosque is named after the 13th-century mystic Abu’l Abbas al-Mursi, who is also buried in the same place along with members of the Ashraf family.
• Al-Madina Museum - The Graeco-Roman Museum of Alexandria is one of Egypt’s principal museums and the oldest building in Egypt designed specifically for preserving and displaying antiquities. It is also the only museum fully dedicated to the antiquities and civilization of Egypt during the Greek and Roman eras. Since 1889, the Italian Giuseppe Botti sought to establish a museum for Alexandria to protect its antiquities from displacement and destruction. He continued to work on that until the decision to establish the museum was issued on June 1, 1892. The museum began in a modest rented property, and Khedive Abbas Helmy II inaugurated it on October 17, 1892. Giuseppe Botti was its first director. Since its inception, the museum has sparked a cultural renaissance in interest in the city’s archaeological activities.
