Highlights
- Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa - A representative from Terre Des Pharaons will collect you from your accommodation in Cairo for an exciting Day Trip to Alexandria. Begin with a visit to Pompey’s Pillar, erected to honor Emperor Diocletian in the late 4th century. Once part of the Serapis temple, this pillar was a part of a complex that once competed with the Soma and the Caesarean in grandeur. Next, travel to explore the Catacombs, the most extensive Roman burial site carved into rock, spanning three tiers. Enjoy a meal at a local eatery in Alexandria, then continue to the Qaitbay Citadel, constructed where the ancient pharaohs’ lighthouse of Alexandria once stood, followed by a trip to the Bibliotheca Alexandria. At the end of the tour, you will be escorted back to your Cairo hotel.
