When you check out in the morning after breakfast, your tour guide will transport you in a modern, air-conditioned vehicle to Alexandria. The catacombs at Kom el Shoqafa, which are regarded as one of the wonders of the Middle Ages, will be the first stop on this day trip. With three stories of tombs that could hold as many as 300 bodies, it is the largest Roman burial site in Egypt that is now known to exist. The area had originally been developed as a private burial ground for a single family before becoming a public cemetery. The tombs' architecture is reminiscent of Greco-Roman designs. This can be observed in the creative fusion of Egyptian, Greek, and Roman artistic traditions in the wall artwork.
You will then proceed to Qaitbey's Citadel, which is thought to be one of the most significant defensive strongholds not only in Egypt but also along the Mediterranean Sea coast, after stopping for pictures. In the 15th century A.D., the Citadel played a significant role in Alexandria's defence system. It is located not far from the entrance to the eastern harbour at the easternmost point of Pharos Island. On the identical spot where the renowned Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, formerly stood, it was built.
Next, a visit to the Montazah Royal Palaces and Gardens will be made, which belonged to Mohamed Ali Pasha's royal dynasty from Khedive Abbas Helmy II to King Farouk I.The Modern Alexandria Library, which replaced the Old Library and was famed for its extensive collection of books on various disciplines and literary genres, is where our incredible journey will come to a conclusion. You will be picked up and driven back to your Alexandria accommodation following this excellent city tour.
