Itinerary

1. Catacombs Of Kom El Shoqafa
The Catacombs of Kom el-Shoqafa, located in Alexandria, Egypt, are a remarkable blend of Egyptian, Greek, and Roman cultures from the 2nd century AD. Discovered in 1900, they served as a communal burial site and consist of three levels carved into rock, though the lowest is often submerged. A spiral staircase leads to chambers featuring sarcophagi, loculi (burial niches), and intricate carvings that merge Egyptian motifs with Greco-Roman styles. Key areas include the Rotunda and Triclinium, where feasts were held in honor of the dead. Known as “Mound of Shards” for the broken pottery left by mourners, the catacombs reflect Alexandria’s multicultural history and offer unique insights into ancient funerary practices.
Duration: 30 mins
2. Pompey's Pillar
Pompey’s Pillar is a massive Roman triumphal column in Alexandria, Egypt, and one of the city’s most iconic landmarks. Standing 26.85 meters (88 feet) tall and made of red granite, it was erected in 297 AD to honor Emperor Diocletian for saving the city during a famine. Despite its name, it has no connection to Pompey the Great; the name likely arose from medieval misinterpretations. The column is the largest of its kind outside Rome and sits atop the ruins of the Serapeum, a grand temple dedicated to the Greco-Egyptian god Serapis. Surrounded by sphinxes and other artifacts, it is a testament to Alexandria’s Roman heritage and remains a significant historical and architectural site.
Duration: 30 mins
3. Qaitbay Citadel
The Citadel of Qaitbay, located on the Mediterranean coast of Alexandria, Egypt, is a stunning 15th-century fortress built by Sultan Al-Ashraf Qaitbay in 1477 AD. It was constructed on the site of the legendary Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, which had been destroyed by earthquakes. The citadel served as a defensive stronghold to protect the city from naval attacks. Its Mamluk architecture features thick walls, towering battlements, and a central square keep. Overlooking the harbor, it offers panoramic views of the sea and the city. Today, it stands as a symbol of Alexandria’s rich history and a popular tourist destination.
Duration: 40 mins
4. Biblioteca de Alexandria
The Library of Alexandria, founded in the 3rd century BCE during the reign of Egypt’s Ptolemaic dynasty, was one of the greatest centers of learning in the ancient world. Located in Alexandria, it aimed to collect all human knowledge and housed hundreds of thousands of scrolls covering literature, science, philosophy, and more. Scholars from various cultures gathered there, contributing to advancements in multiple fields. The library’s destruction, attributed to various events over centuries, remains a topic of debate. Its legacy lives on in the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, a modern cultural center and library built in 2002 to honor its historical predecessor.
