Descrizione completa

We don't sell "cheap tours" — we create exceptional travel experiences that stay with you long after you've left Egypt. This full-day journey through Alexandria goes beyond a checklist of sights: it's a chance to feel the city's layered history and Mediterranean charm firsthand.

You'll explore the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, one of the Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages, descending into an ancient underground necropolis that blends Egyptian, Greek, and Roman influences. From there, visit the majestic Qaitbay Citadel, built on the site of the legendary Lighthouse of Alexandria, with sweeping views over the Mediterranean Sea. Then step into the modern Bibliotheca Alexandrina (Library of Alexandria), a tribute to the ancient world's greatest center of knowledge.

Beyond the main sites, enjoy time strolling the Mediterranean Corniche, tasting local food, and discovering the coastal charm that makes Alexandria feel different from anywhere else in Egypt.

Itinerario

The Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa are a remarkable underground necropolis in Alexandria, Egypt, that uniquely blend ancient Egyptian, Greek, and Roman cultural influences. Dating primarily from the 2nd to 4th centuries CE, these multi-level catacombs offer a fascinating glimpse into the funerary practices of the cosmopolitan city. The site was accidentally discovered in 1900 when a donkey fell into a shaft.

The Ancient Roman Theater in Alexandria is part of the larger Kom el-Dikka archaeological site, which offers a significant window into life in Greco-Roman Alexandria. It is the only known Roman theater of its kind in Egypt and was discovered by chance in 1960 during excavations for a government building. The larger complex includes villas, bathhouses, and lecture halls.

The Bibliotheca Alexandrina is the modern Library of Alexandria, inaugurated in 2002 to revive the legacy of the ancient institution that was lost to history. It is located on the historic eastern harbor of Alexandria, near the site where the original library is believed to have stood.

The Citadel of Qaitbay is a majestic 15th-century defensive fortress located on the Mediterranean coast of Alexandria, Egypt. It stands at the entrance of the eastern harbor on the northern tip of Pharos Island, occupying the exact site where the famous Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, once stood.
