Your day trip from Cairo to Alexandria includes transportation from your hotel in Cairo and back at the end of the day. The first stop is Pompey’s Pillar, which dates back to the 4th century and is the thought to be the largest and only known pillar currently standing from Roman Egypt. It is a beautiful and stands 82-feet in height. The pilar was built to honor Emperor Diocletian in AD 297. Touted as the ‘newest’ of the ancient places to visit, this is a great place to explore.

Next on your Alexandria tour, you will stop at the Catacombs, the largest Roman Cemetery in the world. It is three levels of tombs carved out of a rock face. It is one of the Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages and is an amazing place to adventure and appreciate the vast history in Egypt.

You will eat lunch at a local restaurant and then explore the Qaitbay Citadel, a fort built on the Mediterranean Sea in 1477. This stunning structure is not only one of the most important forts on the Mediterranean Sea, but also an architectural marvel.

Your last stop on your Alexandria tour is the Bibliotheca Alexandria, the modern library that is the heart of Alexandrian culture today. After an adventurous day on one of our Alexandria Tours, you will be ready to relax back at your hotel in Cairo!
