Your Overday Trip to Alexandria from Cairo begins with an early pick-up from your Cairo or Giza hotel in a private, air-conditioned vehicle, followed by a scenic three-hour drive north through the Egyptian countryside to the Mediterranean coast. Upon arrival, you’ll head straight to the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, one of the Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages, where a spiral descent reveals intricately carved tombs blending Pharaonic, Greek, and Roman art dating to the 2nd century AD.
From there, Pompey’s Pillar and the ruins of the ancient Serapeum Temple await, alongside remnants of sphinx statues that speak to Alexandria’s Hellenistic past. Next, the Roman Amphitheater of Kom El Dikka, Egypt’s only Roman theater, impresses with its semicircular marble seating and mosaic floors. After a fresh seafood lunch by the sea, the afternoon brings the Citadel of Qaitbay, a 15th-century fortress rising from the ruins of the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria, offering breathtaking Mediterranean views. The day concludes at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, a stunning modern cultural complex reviving the spirit of the ancient Great Library, before a relaxing evening drive back to Cairo.
