In the morning, we will pick you up from your Cairo hotel and accompany you to Alexandria by car, where you will be accompanied by your private tour guide. Upon arrival, you will have the privilege of visiting some of Alexandria's most notable attractions. Start by exploring the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, an ancient Roman burial site that showcases a fusion of Egyptian and Roman art and architecture. Descend beneath the ground to explore the tomb and Caracalla Hall.
Next, you will encounter Pompey's Pillar, an impressive 82-foot (25-meter) granite column built to honor Emperor Diocletian. This monument symbolizes the liberation of the besieged city and the provision of food to its starving inhabitants.
Continue your journey to the Qaitbay Citadel, a 15th-century fortress beautifully situated on the Mediterranean seacoast. Originally established in 1477 AD by Sultan Al-Ashraf Qa'it Bay, this citadel occupies the same location as the Pharaoh's Island.
Afterward, indulge in a delightful lunch at a seafood restaurant before accompanying your guide to the renowned Alexandria Library.

Additionally, the library features captivating exhibitions that delve into the history of Egypt, as well as a collection of rare antique books.
