Itinerary
Our professional and experienced guide will meet you with a driver in a modern Arabic car and take you to one of Alexandria's most famous sites: Kom El Shokafa, which was found by chance on 28 September 1900. It is worth noting that excavations had started in this area in 1892, but it was only found in 1900 by chance, and this coincidence was done by a donkey, as the donkey fell into the main hole of the tomb at a depth of 12 meters, and thus they knew that there are antiquities in this area and they are looking for the cause of the donkey's fall.
Then you will be taken to Qaitbay Castle, which was built when Sultan Qaitbay visited the city of Alexandria in 882 AH / 1477 AD, he went to the site of the old lighthouse and ordered to build on its old foundation a tower later known as Qaitbay Castle or Tabia Qaitbay, and the construction was completed two years after the date of construction.
You will then be transferred to the Roman Theatre in Alexandria, which was built at the beginning of the fourth century AD, and some halls were discovered next to it 44 years after the beginning of the excavation, specifically in 2004, although these amphitheaters spread widely during the Roman era in many countries such as Greece, Italy, and Turkey, and many of them still exist in many countries in Europe and the Middle East. The Alexandria amphitheater has great importance, as it is the only amphitheater in Egypt.
After completing your tour you will go to the Library of Alexandria. The Library of AlexandriaThe Library of Alexandria was exposed to many fires and its life ended in 48 BC, when Julius Caesar burned 101 ships that were located on the shore of the Mediterranean Sea in front of the Library of Alexandria, and the fire spread to the library, which was destroyed and then reopened. After completing your journey, your driver will transfer you to your hotel.
