• Cairo - Your tour begins with a pickup from your hotel in either Cairo or Giza by a tour guide. You’ll then be transferred by a private air-conditioned vehicle to Alexandria, which is 220 km away from Cairo. You’ll arrive in Alexandria around 10 am and start your day tour. Alexandria is Egypt’s second-largest city and the largest on the Mediterranean coast. Located at the western edge of the Nile River delta, it was founded around 331 BC by Alexander the Great. Alexandria quickly grew into 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 hub due to its natural gas and oil pipelines from Suez.
• Corniche - The Corniche (Egyptian Arabic: الكرنيش, El Kornesh) is a waterfront promenade in Alexandria, Egypt, running along the Eastern Harbour. It is one of Alexandria’s main traffic corridors. Officially named “26 of July Road” west of Mansheya and “El Geish Road” east of it, these names are rarely used. Designed by Italian-Egyptian architect Pietro Avoscani in 1870, the Corniche starts at the Citadel of Qaitbay (built on the site of the Lighthouse of Alexandria) and stretches for over ten miles, ending at Montaza.
• Ancient Roman Amphitheater - Roman theatres evolved from earlier Greek theatres, with much of their architectural influence coming from the Greeks. Unlike Greek theatres, Roman theatres were generally 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. The site includes the Triclinium, where relatives would sit on stone benches to feast the dead, and a center with reliefs of bearded serpents. Inside, you’ll find 2nd-century AD statues of Sobek and Anubis wearing Roman armor.
• Alexandria Library - The Great Library of Alexandria was one of the largest and most significant libraries of the ancient world. Part of a larger research institution called the Mouseion, dedicated to the Muses, the library may have been proposed by Demetrius of Phalerum to Ptolemy I Soter. However, it was likely built during the reign of his son, Ptolemy II Philadelphus. The library quickly amassed many papyrus scrolls due to the Ptolemaic kings’ aggressive and well-funded text acquisition policies. Estimates of the number of scrolls housed at its peak range from 40,000 to 400,000.
• Rashid Citadel of Qaitbay - The Citadel of Qaitbay (or Fort of Qaitbay; Arabic: قلعة قايتباي) is a 15th-century defensive fortress on the Mediterranean coast in Alexandria, Egypt. Built 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 mouth of the Eastern Harbour.
• Mosque of Abu al-Abbas al-Mursi - The Abu al-Abbas al-Mursi Mosque (Arabic: جامع أبو العباس المرسي) 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.
• Alexandria - Your tour concludes with a drop-off at your hotel in Cairo, where you’ll return.
