Embark on an unforgettable Wheelchair Accessible Alexandria Trip from Cairo starting at 7:00 in the morning, with assistance from your Cairo Top Tours Egyptologist guide who will pick you up from your hotel. You will travel in a private air-conditioned vehicle towards Alexandria, located approximately 220 km northwest of Cairo. Upon arrival around 10:00 AM, your Cairo to Alexandria Wheelchair Tours will commence with a visit to the Roman Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, an incredible site dating back to the 2nd century B.C. These catacombs were used for burial for about 200 years during a period of cultural blend between ancient Egyptian and Roman influences.
Next, you will explore Pompey's Pillar, a 25-meter high red granite column erected to honor the Roman Emperor Diocletian, despite its name being linked to the legendary Roman general Pompey. Moving on, visit the Citadel of Qaitbay, a 15th-century fortress constructed by Mamluk Sultan Qeitbay using remnants of the ancient Pharos lighthouse, damaged during an earthquake around 1303 B.C., to protect Alexandria from Crusader threats.
You will then visit the Library of Alexandria, a stunning architectural marvel and a hub of art, history, philosophy, and science. Enjoy a delightful seafood lunch at a high-quality restaurant featuring the freshest ingredients. After concluding your Alexandria day trip from Cairo, you will be transferred back to your hotel.
