From Cairo: Alexandria Private Day Tour with Guide

Overview

You will meet your guide at your hotel and travel along the highway to Alexandria. On arrival, your guide will introduce the city's long and layered past, placing each site in its ancient context as you move through the city. The visit begins at the Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa, where you will see burial chambers that reflect a mix of Egyptian and Greco-Roman styles. You will then visit Pompey's Pillar, an imposing Roman column that stands as one of the city's most recognisable ancient monuments. Along the way you will pass the modern Alexandria Library, the new cultural landmark, and the Citadel of Qaitbay, a coastal fortress that marks the strategic importance of Alexandria through the centuries. Throughout the experience your guide will explain the historical significance of each place and how they relate to Alexandria’s wider story. The pace will allow time to take in the sites and ask questions as you explore the city’s archaeological and architectural highlights.
