From Cairo: Alexandria Private Day Tour with Guide and Lunch｜Egypt

Enjoy a full-day trip from Cairo to the historic city of Alexandria and explore a different side of Egypt. Get picked up from your accommodation in the morning and set off to explore the pearl of the Mediterranean Sea.

Start the day with the Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa, a well-preserved and fascinating mix of different ages with Pharaonic and Roman dedications to the dead. These rock-cut burial chambers and tombs were discovered by accident in 1900 when a donkey fell through a hole in the ground.

Move on to Bibliotheca Alexandrina, a new modern, and stunning building combining a library with a magnificent collection of archaeological finds from ancient Alexandria in a museum setting. Learn more about it with your private Egyptologist guide.

Enjoy a lunch break at a local restaurant. Energized, make your way to the last stop, Fort Qaitbey. At Fort Qaitbey, one of Alexandria’s top attractions due to its historic value and important location, see sphinxes, columns, capitals, and statues dating from the Pharaonic, Greek, and Roman eras.

After exploring the city with your guide, return to your accommodation in Cairo or Giza.
