After enjoying a delicious breakfast at your hotel, a World Travel Path representative will meet you and accompany you on a comfortable private air-conditioned drive to the historic city of Alexandria. As you travel, the excitement builds for a day filled with fascinating discoveries.
Your first stop takes you deep into the mysterious Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, where winding chambers and tunnels reveal intricate carvings that blend Egyptian, Greek, and Roman artistry. Walking through this ancient burial site, you’ll feel the layers of history come alive around you.
Next, you’ll admire the towering Pompey’s Pillar, rising majestically above the city. This impressive granite column tells a story of Roman power and architectural brilliance, standing as a silent witness to Alexandria’s rich past.
Midday brings a welcome break with a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, where you can savor traditional flavors and recharge for the afternoon ahead.
Refreshed, the tour continues with a visit to the formidable Qaitbay Citadel. Perched on the Mediterranean coast, this 15th-century fortress stands on the very spot where the legendary Pharos Lighthouse once guided ancient sailors. From its walls, you’ll take in sweeping views of the sea, feeling the timeless connection between land and water.
Finally, you’ll explore the modern marvel of the Alexandria Library. Its striking architecture and vast collection of books pay homage to the ancient Library of Alexandria, a beacon of knowledge for centuries. Wandering through its halls and exhibitions, you’ll appreciate the city’s ongoing legacy as a center of learning and culture.
As your memorable day draws to a close, our representative will escort you back in comfort to Cairo, where you will be dropped off at your hotel to relax and reflect on your incredible journey.
