Private Alexandria Day Trip from Cairo with Egyptologist Discount Tickets

Overview

Alexandria is a different Egypt: Mediterranean, Greco-Roman, sea-sprayed, and about 2.5 hours north of Cairo. This private day trip gives you the city in full. Your Egyptologist drives you up and walks you through 2,000 years of layered history. You descend into the Catacombs of Kom el-Shoqafa, a three-level Roman tomb cut into bedrock; stand under Pompey's Pillar at the old temple of Serapis; look out from Qaitbay Citadel, built where the Lighthouse of Pharos once stood; and take in the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, the modern echo of the ancient library. The seafront and Abu al-Abbas Mosque round it out. It is a long day with real driving on either side, all private and at your pace. Ideal for travelers based in Cairo who want the sea, the Greco-Roman story, and a break from the desert.
