• Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa - Begin your day in Alexandria, a beautiful coastal city steeped in history. Visit the ancient necropolis of Kom El Shoqafa, a remarkable burial site that merges Egyptian, Greek, and Roman influences. Explore its subterranean catacombs, detailed tombs, and three ancient sarcophagi. Discover how this site, dating from the 2nd to 4th century AD, was uncovered in 1900 when a donkey accidentally fell into its access shaft.
• Pompey’s Pillar - Then, head to Pompey’s Pillar, a majestic 30-meter red granite column with an intriguing past. Despite its name, it is not linked to Pompey. Constructed around 300 AD, it commemorates Emperor Diocletian and is located on the former site of the Serapeum, a magnificent temple dedicated to the god Serapis.

Learn about the site’s destruction in 391 AD during a Christian revolt led by Patriarch Theophilus, which may have included the Great Library of Alexandria. Today, visitors can explore the area, discover tunnels, and view extraordinary artifacts like a black basalt bull and a golden plaque at the Greco-Roman Museum.

• Ancient Roman Amphitheater - Next, explore the Roman Amphitheater, a breathtaking example of Alexandria’s Greco-Roman legacy. Built in the 4th century AD, this theater boasts 13 marble tiers that could accommodate up to 800 spectators, renowned for their exceptional acoustics.

Investigate its underground chambers, mosaic floors, and nearby ruins, including ancient baths. Accidentally discovered in the 1960s, the site continues to reveal insights into Roman life in Alexandria.

• Fort Qaitbey - The following stop is the Citadel of Qaitbay, a 15th-century fortress on Alexandria’s Mediterranean coast. Erected in 1477 AD by Sultan Al-Ashraf Sayf al-Din Qa’it Bay, it stands on the location of the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

Explore the fortress’s robust walls, defensive towers, and breathtaking sea views. Learn about its significance in defending Alexandria from invasions and its ties to the city’s rich maritime history.

• Alexandria Library - Conclude with a visit to the modern Alexandria Library, an architectural masterpiece inspired by the ancient Great Library. Its design symbolizes the rising sun and reflects Alexandria’s lasting legacy as a hub of knowledge and culture. Be sure to take some memorable photos before concluding this unforgettable journey through Alexandria’s rich history.
