Your first stop is the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, one of the Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages. Descend into this unique Roman burial site, which combines Egyptian, Greek, and Roman art. Next, head to the majestic Pompey’s Pillar, a towering red granite column standing 26 meters high—a symbol of Roman triumph in Egypt.

Continue your tour at the Citadel of Qaitbay, a 15th-century fortress offering panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea. Built on the site of the legendary Lighthouse of Alexandria, it is one of the city's most iconic landmarks.

Enjoy a delicious seafood lunch at a local restaurant along the coast, featuring freshly caught Mediterranean fish.

After lunch, visit the stunning Bibliotheca Alexandrina, a modern architectural marvel and revival of the ancient Great Library of Alexandria. You’ll explore its museum, art galleries, and rare book collections.

Take a stroll along the Alexandria Corniche, soaking in the cool sea breeze before heading back to Cairo.
