Enjoy a splendid day-long excursion in Alexandria. Frequently referred to as the “Pearl of the Mediterranean Sea” by locals, it was established in 332 BC by none other than Alexander The Great, from whom it derives its name. Alexandria is not only the second largest city in Egypt, but it also boasts the country’s largest seaport. The entrance to its harbor was once distinguished by one of the seven wonders of ancient times, The Towering Lighthouse. Unfortunately, the extensive knowledge stored in its ancient library was lost in a fire, yet the sea of the ancient city continues to conceal numerous of its hidden gems. Despite extensive exploration, the city of Cleopatra and the tomb of Alexander The Great remain undiscovered. Your venture includes intriguing narratives about your visits to historical sites such as the Library of Alexandria “Bibliotheca Alexandrina”, the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, Qaitbay Citadel, and Pompay’s Pillar.
