After breakfast in the morning, check out and your tour guide will drive you to Alexandria in a contemporary, air-conditioned vehicle. This day excursion will start with a visit to the catacombs at Kom el Shoqafa, which are considered as one of the wonders of the Middle Ages. It is the largest Roman burial site in Egypt that is known to exist, with three floors of tombs that may accommodate up to 300 bodies. Prior to being a public cemetery, the site had been built as a private burial place for a single family. The architecture of the tombs is evocative of Greco-Roman styles. This may be seen in the innovative blending of artistic traditions from Egypt, Greece, and Rome in the wall artwork.
Then, after stopping for photos, you'll continue on to Qaitbey's Citadel, which is regarded as one of the most important defensive strongholds not only in Egypt but also along the Mediterranean Sea coast. The Citadel was an important part of Alexandria's defence system in the 15th century A.D. It is situated at the eastern tip of Pharos Island, close to the eastern harbour's entrance. It was constructed on the exact site of the famed Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
The Montazah Royal Palaces and Gardens, which were owned by Mohamed Ali Pasha's royal family from Khedive Abbas Helmy II to King Farouk I, will then be visited.
Our amazing voyage will come to an end at the Modern Alexandria Library, which took the place of the Old Library, which was renowned for its large collection of volumes on several sciences and literary genres. After this wonderful city tour, you will be picked up and brought back to your lodging in Alexandria.
