Get ready to embark on a full-day adventure from Cairo to the vibrant city of Alexandria! You’ll be whisked away on an exciting journey through history, culture, and stunning coastal views.
After breakfast at the hotel, you will start your Alexandria city tour by exploring one of the main sources of knowledge in the ancient world, The Alexandria Library.
Visit the Library of Alexandria, Historians have always disagreed concerning who was the founder of the ancient library of Alexandria. Some claim it was Alexander the Great himself when he first established the city in the 4th century BC, while others assert that Ptolemy I or Ptolemy II established it in the 3rd century BC. What we are sure of today is that it was the greatest library in the world for quite a long time. The new library of Alexandria was established on the 22nd of October 2002 with the aid of the United Nations, with the number of books exceeding two million, it is now considered to be the fourth-largest francophone in the whole globe.
Then proceed to visit the Roman Amphitheatre, an archeological mission that was searching for the tomb of Alexander the Great unearthed in the 1960s unearthed the only example of the Roman amphitheater in Egypt. Constructed in the 4th century AD, the Roman theatre consists of 13 rows made out of white marble. It used to accommodate more than 600 spectators.
Later on, you will be transferred to have your lunch meal at a local restaurant. After lunch, you will proceed to visit The Roman Amphitheatre, which is considered to be one of the most famous monuments belonging to the Greco-Roman period.
Continue your Alexandria city tour by visiting Pompey's pillar, which was erected in 292 AD. In the end, you’ll be transferred to visit Sultan Qaitbay Citadel (from outside) which is considered to be one of the most famous sights in Alexandria.
After finishing your day tour, we will drive back to Cairo.
Your tour will conclude in San Francisco on Day 8 of the trip. There are no activities planned for this day so you're free to depart at any time. We highly recommend booking post-accommodation to give yourself time to fully experience the wonders of this iconic city!
