  • Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa
    Start your day with a visit to Alexandria, a stunning coastal city filled with history. Explore the ancient necropolis of Kom El Shoqafa, a unique burial site blending Egyptian, Greek, and Roman cultures. Discover its underground catacombs, intricate tombs, and three ancient sarcophagi. Learn how this site, dating back to the 2nd to 4th century AD, was rediscovered in 1900 when a donkey fell into its access shaft.
  • Pompey's Pillar
    Next, visit Pompey’s Pillar, a towering 30-meter red granite column with a fascinating history. Despite its name, it has no connection to Pompey. Built around 300 AD, it honors Emperor Diocletian and stands on what was once the Serapeum, a grand temple dedicated to the god Serapis.
  • Ancient Roman Amphitheater
    Next, visit the Roman Amphitheater, a stunning example of Alexandria’s Greco-Roman heritage. Built in the 4th century AD, this theater features 13 marble tiers that could seat up to 800 people, known for their incredible acoustics. Explore its underground chambers, mosaic floors, and nearby ruins, including ancient baths. Discovered by chance in the 1960s, the site continues to unveil secrets of Roman life in Alexandria.
  • Citadel of Qaitbay
    The next stop is the Citadel of Qaitbay, a 15th-century fortress on Alexandria’s Mediterranean coast. Built in 1477 AD by Sultan Al-Ashraf Sayf al-Din Qa’it Bay, it stands on the site of the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Explore the fortress’s thick walls, defensive towers, and stunning views of the sea. Learn about its role in protecting Alexandria from invasions and its connection to the city’s rich maritime history.
