Alexandria at your pace: a construction set-top excursion
Alexandria is not like either Cairo or the resorts of Egypt – no wonder it is called "European Asia" or "Asian Europe". You will be able to design the route of the excursion yourself to cover the most interesting: ancient palaces, forts, mosques, catacombs or modern places of attraction. In any case, you will immerse yourself in the history of Alexandria and its special atmosphere,
What awaits you
Alexandria according to your script!
In the company of a professional guide-historian and driver, you will explore one of the most characteristic cities of Egypt in a day. We can spend the whole day in the ancient catacombs or cover as many attractions as possible – it all depends on your interests and tastes! What can be included in the excursion program:
Fort Kite Bay, built on the remains of the Lighthouse of Alexandria.
The catacombs of Kom el-Shuqafa are the hallmark of the city. You will pass through the tunnels of the ancient necropolis, looking at the surviving tombs, columns and sarcophagi.
Abu'l-Abbas al-Mursi is the most beautiful mosque in Alexandria. You will learn in whose honor it was built and what is the peculiarity of its architecture.
The Roman amphitheater is the only ancient Roman footprint discovered in Alexandria.
The Alexandrina Library is a modern cultural project reminiscent of the lost Library of Alexandria.
Pompey's Column is a monolith of red granite, which is often compared to a ship's mast.
The Royal Palace of Montaza: let's walk along the paths of its picturesque park, look into the elegant chambers and talk about the history of the building.
Alexandria National Museum, where you will get acquainted with the artifacts of Ancient and modern Egypt – from the era of the pharaohs to the Christian and Muslim eras.
On average, we will be able to visit 4-5 locations from the list per day: you can have time to do more or less, depending on how much time you spend at each attraction.
