Embark on a captivating full-day excursion to the legendary city of Alexandria! Begin with a convenient hotel pickup in Cairo or Giza and enjoy a scenic drive in a private air-conditioned vehicle to Egypt’s famous Mediterranean jewel.
Your first stop is the awe-inspiring Catacombs of Kom El-Shoqafa, an underground marvel that merges Pharaonic, Greco-Roman, and Hellenistic elements. This historic necropolis, once considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages, offers a deep dive into Alexandria’s rich burial traditions.
After exploring the catacombs, enjoy a hearty lunch at a local restaurant before heading to the magnificent Citadel of Qaitbay.
