    Detailed ItineraryMorning – Pickup from Cairo Your private driver and Egyptologist will meet you at your hotel in Cairo or Giza in the morning. Begin your journey north toward Alexandria. The drive takes you from Egypt's capital through the Nile Delta toward the Mediterranean coast. Along the way, your Egyptologist can introduce you to the history of Alexandria and explain why the city became such an important center of the ancient world.
    Alexandria – The Mediterranean Capital A City Founded by Alexander the Great Arrive in Alexandria and begin exploring this fascinating Mediterranean city. Alexandria was founded by Alexander the Great in 331 BC and developed under the Ptolemaic dynasty into one of the greatest cities of the ancient Mediterranean. The city became famous for its intellectual and cultural achievements and was associated with two legendary monuments of the ancient world: • The Great Library of Alexandria • The Pharos Lighthouse Although these ancient monuments no longer survive in their original form, their legacy remains an important part of Alexandria's identity. Your Egyptologist will explain how Greek, Egyptian and later Roman influences shaped the city.
    Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa Explore Alexandria's Underground Necropolis Your first archaeological stop is the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, one of Alexandria's most fascinating ancient sites. Discovered in the early 20th century, the underground complex contains tombs and chambers dating primarily to the Roman period. The site is particularly interesting because its architecture and decoration combine Egyptian, Greek and Roman influences. This mixture reflects the multicultural character of ancient Alexandria. What You Will Discover As you explore the catacombs, your Egyptologist will explain: • Ancient Egyptian funerary traditions • Greek influence on Alexandria • Roman-era Alexandria • Egyptian religious symbolism • Burial customs • The combination of different artistic traditions The decorations provide a fascinating example of how different cultures interacted in ancient Egypt.
    Pompey's Pillar One of Alexandria's Most Famous Ancient Landmarks Continue to Pompey's Pillar, one of Alexandria's best-known archaeological monuments. The enormous red granite column stands among the remains of the ancient Serapeum. Despite its traditional name, the column was not actually erected in honor of the Roman general Pompey. Your guide will explain the monument's real historical background and its relationship with the ancient city. The surrounding archaeological area also provides an opportunity to see remains of ancient Alexandria beyond the city's more famous coastal landmarks.
    Qaitbay Citadel Visit the Fortress Beside the Mediterranean Continue to the impressive Qaitbay Citadel, one of Alexandria's most recognizable landmarks. The fortress was constructed during the 15th century by Sultan Qaitbay and occupies a strategic position on the Mediterranean shore. The location is traditionally associated with the site of the ancient Pharos Lighthouse, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The Pharos Lighthouse The ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria was one of the most famous structures of the ancient world. It helped guide ships into Alexandria's harbor and became an enduring symbol of the city's importance. Although the lighthouse was eventually destroyed by earthquakes, the Qaitbay Citadel now occupies this historic waterfront location. Inside and around the fortress, enjoy views of the Mediterranean and Alexandria's coastline.
    Bibliotheca Alexandrina See the Modern Library of Alexandria Continue to the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, the modern cultural institution inspired by the legendary ancient Library of Alexandria. The contemporary building has become one of Alexandria's most recognizable landmarks. Your guide will explain the connection between the modern library and the ancient intellectual tradition that made Alexandria famous throughout the Mediterranean world. Depending on opening hours, ticket availability and your selected itinerary, an interior visit can be arranged as an optional addition.
    Alexandria Corniche Enjoy the Mediterranean Atmosphere Take a scenic drive along Alexandria's famous Corniche. Enjoy views of the Mediterranean Sea and experience the city's distinctive coastal atmosphere. The Corniche is one of the best places to appreciate the contrast between Alexandria's ancient history and its modern Mediterranean identity. Take photographs, enjoy the sea views and see some of the city's historic and modern neighborhoods.
    Optional Seafood Lunch Taste Alexandria's Mediterranean Cuisine Alexandria is famous for its seafood. You can enjoy an optional lunch at a local restaurant featuring fresh fish, seafood and Egyptian specialties. Vegetarian and other dietary preferences can be requested in advance. Your guide can recommend a restaurant according to your preferences and budget.

    The History of Alexandria Alexandria is unlike any other major destination in Egypt. While Cairo is famous for the pyramids and medieval Islamic heritage, and Luxor is famous for its pharaonic temples and tombs, Alexandria offers a fascinating combination of Mediterranean, Greek, Roman, Egyptian and modern Egyptian history. Ancient Alexandria Founded by Alexander the Great, Alexandria quickly became a major center of the Hellenistic world. Under the Ptolemaic dynasty, the city developed into a major political, commercial and intellectual center. Roman Alexandria After Egypt became part of the Roman world, Alexandria remained one of the Mediterranean's most important cities. The city's catacombs and archaeological remains provide evidence of this multicultural period. Medieval Alexandria The city's strategic Mediterranean location continued to make it important during the Islamic period. The construction of the Qaitbay Citadel reflects Alexandria's continued importance as a defensive and maritime center. Modern Alexandria Today, Alexandria remains one of Egypt's most important coastal cities. Its cafés, seafood restaurants, Corniche, beaches and Mediterranean atmosphere make it a popular destination for both Egyptians and international visitors.

Before You Travel to Egypt

A quick checklist for a smoother arrival and more comfortable sightseeing.

Choose the season that suits you

October to April is usually more comfortable for long sightseeing days. Summer can be very hot, especially in Luxor and Aswan, so plan lighter schedules, shade and water breaks.

Check entry rules before you fly

Visa eligibility depends on your passport and can change. Confirm your requirements through Egypt’s official e-Visa portal or the nearest Egyptian embassy before travel.

Carry Egyptian Pounds

Cards are useful at many hotels and larger businesses, but small EGP notes are practical for tips, small purchases and everyday services.

Use sealed bottled water

Drink sealed bottled water and keep extra water with you during sightseeing, particularly on warm days and longer excursions.

Dress for heat and local customs

Light, breathable clothing, comfortable shoes, sun protection and a light layer are useful. Modest clothing is respectful at mosques, churches and traditional communities.

Know when to bargain

Friendly bargaining is common in bazaars and souks. Prices in fixed-price shops, hotels, restaurants and official ticket offices are generally not negotiated.
