Itinerary

Alexandria Highlights Tour With Lunch

Explore the wonders of Alexandria through our Alexandria day tours with expert tour guides. You will meet your guide at your hotel reception in Alexandria to commence your Alexandria highlights tour with lunch. The first of Alexandria highlights is

The Catacombs at Kom El-Shoqafa:

Go down a winding stairway to see how deep the ancient Greco-Romans tunneled into the bedrock. Initially built for a single wealthy family practicing a fusion of Ancient Egyptian, Greek, and Roman religion. The Catacombs of Kom El-Shoqafa entombed over 300 mummies. See bearded serpents crowned with the crowns of Upper and Lower Egypt. Hovering solar disc above the archway and customary funerary deities joined with Greco-Roman motifs.

Alexandria catacombs are a monumental testament to the enduring myths of ancient Egypt despite centuries of Greek and Roman rule. Kom El-Shoqqafa means literally “piles of shards”. It was discovered by pure chance in 1900 when a donkey-drawn cart fell into a pit.

Pompey’s Pillar:

Then your Alexandria highlights tour takes you to the Pompey’s Pillar. Alexandria Pompey’s Pillar is a Roman triumphal pillar. The column is the largest of its type. Pompey’s Pillar is the only known free-standing pillar in Roman Egypt. The pillar’s shaft measures 20.5 meters high with a diameter of 2.7 meters at its base. It was built in 297 AC. It commemorates the victory of the Roman Emperor Diocletian over an Alexandrian revolt.

Alexandria highlights tour to the Citadel of Qaitbay:

Another great wonder of Alexandria highlights tour with lunch is the Citadel of Qaitbay. Qaitbay Citadel indeed is one of the most important defensive strongholds not only in Egypt but also along the Mediterranean Sea coast. Moreover, it formulated an important part of the fortification system of Alexandria.
 
Fort of Qaitbay is situated at the entrance of the eastern harbor on the eastern point of Pharos Island. It was erected on the exact site of the famous Lighthouse of Alexandria. Sultan Al-Ashraf Qaitbay fortified the place as part of his coastal defensive edifices against the Turks, who were threatening Egypt in 1480 AC. 
Enjoy your lunch at a local restaurant.

 

Roman Amphitheatre:

Alexandria highlights tour with lunch proceeds to the Roman Amphitheatre. It is one of the most popular Alexandria highlights. The amphitheaters were widespread during the Roman time. This Amphitheatre is the only one that still exists in Egypt. Located at Kom El-Dekkah (Hill of Benches) named due to many piles of rubbles and sand found there. Kom El-Dekka theatre was where important meetings like public assemblies and governmental summits took place. This theatre is consisted of 13 rows numbered in Roman digits. 
 

Library of Alexandria:

You will conclude your Alexandria highlights tour with lunch at the Library of Alexandria. Alexandria Great Library was one of the largest and most significant libraries of the ancient world. The library was part of a larger research institution called the Mouseion, which was dedicated to the Muses, the nine goddesses of the arts. It is unknown precisely how many such scrolls were housed at any given time, but estimates range from 40,000 to 400,000 at its height.
