Itinerary
1
Alexandria Library
the modern version of the Great Library of Alexandria, home to the world’s second largest reading room and four excellent museums (Antiquities, Manuscript, Sadat and History of Science)
1 hour
2
Pompey's Pillar
a 30-metre-high Roman triumphal column that overlooks the ruins of the once-glorious ancient city of Rhakotis - the settlement upon which Alexandria was built. Erected by the emperor Diocletian in AD 291, it was renamed by locals in memory of the great Roman general after his murder at the hands of Cleopatra’s brother
1 hour
3
Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa
not only one of the last major constructions dedicated to the religion of ancient Egypt but also its largest Greco-Roman burial site. Originally constructed as a private family crypt which would have contained a rotunda, triclinium (a formal dining room where mourners would pay their last respects) and principal tomb chamber, the following 3 centuries saw it develop into a vast necropolis holding more than 300 remains
1 hour and 30 minutes
4
Fort Qaitbey
built on (and utilizing some its stones) the site of the ancient Pharos Lighthouse - one of the wonders of the ancient world. Drive to Bibliotheca Alexandrina for the modern version of the Great Library of Alexandria, home to the world’s second largest reading room and four excellent museums (Antiquities, Manuscript, Sadat and History of Science)
