Get your discount tickets for the Private Alexandria City Tour from Hotel or Port, save up to 9% !
Overview
You are already in Alexandria, so there is no long drive, just a full morning and afternoon walking the highlights of Egypt's Mediterranean city with a local guide. You descend into the Catacombs of Kom el-Shoqafa, a Roman tomb cut three levels into the rock nearly 2,000 years ago, stand beneath Pompey's Pillar at the old temple of Serapis, and look out from Qaitbay Citadel, built where the Lighthouse of Pharos once stood. You also visit the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, the striking modern library that revived the name of the ancient one. Pickup is from your hotel or the cruise port. It is an easy, walkable day at a relaxed pace, whether you are staying in the city or in port for the day. Ideal for travelers who want Alexandria's Greco-Roman story without a long commute.
Pickup Information
Please share your hotel name and address in Alexandria, OR your cruise ship name and arrival/departure times if from a cruise port. Your guide will meet you at the agreed pickup point at the scheduled time. The tour involves walking on uneven surfaces and stairs (especially at the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa). Comfortable closed-toe shoes essential. Note: Library of Alexandria interior is closed on Fridays and public holidays; we view the exterior on those days.
