Full-Day Alexandria Tour from Cairo

Meet your guide at 7:00 AM at your hotel in Downtown Cairo or the Pyramids area, then begin your full-day tour of Alexandria. Travel in comfort on an air-conditioned bus while exploring the city’s rich history, from its ancient Egyptian roots to the Classical and Roman periods.

Start at the Roman Theater in Kom El-Deka, a beautifully preserved marble theater that once seated 800 spectators. Next, visit the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, a three-level necropolis dating from the 2nd century AD, blending Egyptian, Greek, and Roman architectural styles.

Conclude at the Qaitbay Citadel, a 15th-century fortress built on the site of the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria. After a day of discovery, relax on the return drive to Cairo and your hotel.
