Itinerary
1
Cairo
Your adventure begins early in the morning when your private driver picks you up from your hotel in Cairo in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. Sit back and enjoy the scenic 2.5–3 hour drive along the desert highway as the urban bustle fades into the calm of the Mediterranean coast.
3 hours
2
Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa
Start your adventure deep beneath Alexandria at the mysterious Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa. This ancient necropolis blends Egyptian, Greek, and Roman artistic styles into one fascinating underground maze. Walk through the spiral staircase and carved burial chambers as your guide reveals the stories of Alexandria’s diverse past and the legends tied to this remarkable site.
2 hours
3
Pompey's Pillar
Continue to Pompey’s Pillar, a towering red granite monument that rises nearly 27 meters high. Erected in honor of Emperor Diocletian, it stands as one of the few surviving remnants of the Serapeum Temple — a testament to the grandeur of ancient Alexandria. Enjoy some time for photos and take in the panoramic views from this historic site.
1 hour
4
Fort Qaitbey
Next, explore the impressive Citadel of Qaitbay, a 15th-century fortress built by Sultan Qaitbay on the very spot where the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria once stood. Wander along its sturdy walls, feel the cool Mediterranean breeze, and admire the striking views of the harbor — a perfect mix of history and coastal beauty.
2 hours
5
Bibliotheca Alexandrina
End your sightseeing at the modern Bibliotheca Alexandrina, a masterpiece of contemporary architecture that revives the legacy of the ancient library. Inside, discover vast reading halls, cultural exhibits, and rotating art displays that celebrate Alexandria’s timeless connection to learning and innovation.

Cairo
After a full day of discovery, relax as your driver takes you back to Cairo — returning in the evening with a head full of stories, photos, and memories from Egypt’s most historic coastal city.
