Alexandria Day Trip from Cairo with Private Yacht Cruise

Overview

In Alexandria, you will move from ancient sites to the sea, starting with the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa. These underground tombs, named among the Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages, show a distinctive mix of Egyptian, Greek and Roman carving. As you descend, you will see the layered art and learn about the cultural influences that shaped this burial complex. You will also visit Pompey’s Pillar, a towering Roman monument that has stood for centuries, and hear the stories linked to its presence in the city. Later, you will explore the Qaitbay Citadel, a 15th-century fortress built on the site of the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria. From the citadel, you will take in sweeping views of the Mediterranean and get a sense of Alexandria’s long coastal history. To finish, you will board a private yacht for a cruise along the Alexandrian coast. On the water, the sea breeze will change your perspective of the city and offer panoramic views of the shoreline and landmarks from a calm, seaside angle.
