Itinerary
Cairo
2 hoursAdmission Ticket FreeYour day begins with a meeting at your hotel before embarking on a scenic drive from Cairo to the renowned city of Alexandria. Upon arrival, your guide will take you on a fascinating exploration of the city's rich history.Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa
2 hoursAdmission Ticket IncludedYou'll start at the Necropolis of Kom el Shoqafa, a site that holds a series of tombs, statues, and archaeological wonders. This necropolis is a testament to the fusion of Pharaonic, Hellenistic, and early Imperial Roman influences. As you wander through the catacombs, you'll witness the harmonious blend of Roman, Greek, and Egyptian cultural elements. The circular staircase, once used to lower the deceased, guides you into the depths of the tombs that were meticulously carved into the bedrock during the age of the Antonine emperors in the 2nd century AD. Rediscovered in 1900 after an accidental discovery, this burial chamber encapsulates a time of intertwining cultures. Spend time unraveling the mysteries that lie within these historic tunnels, gaining insights into a past that spans centuries.Serapeum of Alexandria
2 hoursAdmission Ticket IncludedMoving on to our second attraction, Pompey's Pillar, you might find its name quite misleading. Perched atop a rocky hill in the heart of Alexandria, this solitary column bears no connection to the historical figure Gaius Pompey, the Roman Consul and General who famously clashed with Julius Caesar during a civil war and met his demise at the hands of a Ptolemaic pharaoh in 48 BC upon seeking refuge in Alexandria. Curiously, the origins of this legend trace back to the Crusaders, who erroneously believed that this towering 100-foot (30-meter) Aswan granite pillar served as Pompey's resting place. Contrary to this notion, the pillar stands as a triumphant monument erected around 300 AD to honor the Roman Emperor Diocletian. Yet, the true significance of this archaeological site resides in what once occupied this space prior to the pillar's existence.Fort Qaitbey
2 hoursAdmission Ticket IncludedAs we move to our third destination, let's explore the Citadel of Qaitbay, also known as the Fort of Qaitbay. This formidable fortress, dating back to the 15th century, stands proudly along the coastline of the Mediterranean Sea in Alexandria, Egypt. Its construction was commissioned in 1477 AD (882 AH) under the rule of Sultan Al-Ashraf Sayf al-Din Qa'it Bay. The Citadel holds its position on the eastern side of Pharos Island's northernmost tip, guarding the entrance of the Eastern Harbour. The Citadel of Qaitbay serves as a testament to the historical importance of maritime defense during its era. A visit here offers insight into the strategic thinking and architectural prowess of its time. With a duration of approximately 2 hours, you'll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the rich history that envelops this impressive fortress.Cairo
