Activity itinerary

Pompey's Pillar
  • 5h
  • Admission ticket not included
The tour starts From Cairo at 7:30 Am, arriving in Alexandria at 10:00 Am The only single column marks the site of what was once a huge and elaborate temple, which was constructed of marble and decorated with precious metals on the interior. Some of the tunnels around the complex remain and are open for tourists to explore and some of the artefacts from the temple have been recovered. A life-size black basalt bull from the temple and a golden plaque marking the foundation of the Serapis are on display in the Greco-Roman Museum. Qaitbay Citadel:Sultan Qaitbey built this picturesque fortress during the 14th century to defend Alexandria from the advances of the Ottoman Empire. His efforts were in vain since the Ottomans took control of Egypt in 1512, but the fortress has remained, strategically located on a thin arm of land that extends out into Alexandria’s harbour from the corniche.
Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa
  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
The Arabic name translates to English as “the mound of potshards”, referring to the broken dishes and plates that marked the area before the tombs were discovered below.

Bibliotheca Alexandrina
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket not included
Standing on the Alexandrian Corniche, the Bibliotheca Alexandrina is a vast and striking example of modern 21st-century architecture, but the building recalls something much older.
