Escape the capital and discover the Mediterranean charm of Alexandria on this full-day private tour from Cairo. Known as the “Pearl of the Mediterranean”, Alexandria was founded by Alexander the Great and later flourished as the great center of Hellenistic learning. Travel through its layered history — from the mysterious Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, where Egyptian, Greek and Roman traditions blend, to Pompey’s Pillar, the Roman Amphitheatre and the modern Bibliotheca Alexandrina. Stand by the 15th-century Citadel of Qaitbay, built on the site of the ancient Lighthouse, and savor a seafood lunch beside the Mediterranean. Private round-trip transport and a dedicated Egyptologist guide ensure a seamless, memorable day.
