Additional Information

A representative will collect you from your Cairo hotel for a fascinating day trip to Alexandria. Begin with a visit to Pompey’s Pillar, a monument erected in the 4th century in honour of Emperor Diocletian. Originally a part of the Serapis Temple, its grandeur was comparable to the Soma and the Caesarean. The journey continues with a visit to the Catacombs, the largest Roman Cemetery cut into three levels of rock. Enjoy lunch in a local restaurant in Alexandria, then explore the Qaitbay Citadel, constructed on the historical site of the ancient Alexandrian pharaohs’ lighthouse, and the Bibliotheca Alexandrina.
