• Cairo - The tour begins with a pickup from your hotel in either Cairo or Giza by a tour guide, followed by a transfer in a private air-conditioned vehicle to Alexandria, which is 220 km away from Cairo. Arrival in Alexandria is around 10 am, where the day tour commences. 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 favored 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. However, Roman theaters have distinct differences, such as being built on their own foundations rather than on earthen works or hillsides, and being fully enclosed on all sides.
• Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa - The tour includes a visit to the Catacombs of Kom El-Shoqafa, which feature tombs on three levels and the Triclinium, where relatives would sit on stone benches to honor the deceased. Inside are 2nd Century AD statues of Sobek and Anubis wearing Roman armor, and a center with reliefs of bearded serpents.
• 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 suggested by Demetrius of Phalerum to Ptolemy I Soter, who possibly initiated plans for the Library, though it was likely constructed during the reign of his son, Ptolemy II Philadelphus. The Library amassed numerous papyrus scrolls due to the Ptolemaic kings’ aggressive and well-funded text acquisition policies. Estimates of the number of scrolls range from 40,000 to 400,000 at its peak.
• 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 positioned 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 interred there along with members of the Ashraf family.
• Alexandria - The tour concludes with a drop-off at your hotel in Cairo, returning you to the city.
