Day 1Itinerary

Take a fascinating tour to Alexandria from Cairo in the company of Your Egypt Tours Egyptologist guide. The second-largest city in Egypt, Alexandria has an atmosphere that is more Mediterranean and cosmopolitan than other Egyptian cities. It is famous for its Roman remains. With your Egyptologist guide leading the way, you'll enjoy personalized attention on your tour. During the tour, you can determine the amount of time you'd like to spend at each site. Alexandria was founded by Alexander the Great in 332 B.C. and was the capital of Graeco-Roman Egypt.

Begin by visiting the catacombs Kom El-Shuqqafa. This Roman burial site portrays the merging of Roman and Egyptian art and architecture. Descend below ground to visit the tomb and Caracalla Hall. Above ground, the next site your guide will show you is the fort of Qaitbay, built in 1477 to protect the city's eastern side. The fort was built in the same location as the great lighthouse of Alexandria.

After lunch (additional cost), you will visit the famous Alexandria Library. In contrast to the ancient architecture found throughout Egypt, the Norwegian-designed building is a striking piece of modern design. A copy of every book published in the world is kept in the library, making it one of the great literary sites in the world. The library also houses several exhibitions relating to the history of Egypt and a display of rare antique books (additional cost).
