• Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa - At 7:00 am, we will pick you up from your hotel and head straight to Alexandria, where we will spend the next two and a half hours travelling by highway to get to our starting point Kom El Shurafa’s.
  Kom El Shoqafa’s made up of a collection of tombs, statues, and archaeological artefacts associated with the Pharaonic funeral cult, as well as Hellenistic and early Imperial Roman influences. Because of the time period, many of the characteristics of Kom El Shoqafa’s catacombs combine Roman, Greek, and Egyptian cultural points; some statues are Egyptian in style, but wear Roman clothes and hairstyles, while others share a similar style. A circular staircase descends down into the tombs tunneled into the bedrock during the Antonine emperors’ reign. (2nd century AD)From the 2nd to the 4th centuries, the building was used as a burial chamber before being rediscovered in 1900.

• Pompey’s Pillar - Will be the secondary attraction. The Pompey pillar’s moniker is deceptive. Gaius Pompey, a Roman general and consul, was a rival of Julius Caesar in a civil war and was assassinated by a Ptolomaic pharaoh in 48 BC as he escaped to Alexandria. This single column, which is perched on a rocky hilltop in the centre of Alexandria, has nothing to do with him. Crusaders believed his grave was marked by a 100-foot (30-meter) red Aswan granite pillar, which is how this tale got its start. The pillar is actually a triumphal monument built for the Roman Emperor Diocletian in the year 300 AD, but the real importance of this archaeological site lies in what was here before the pillar. The Serapeum, Alexandria’s acropolis, is located there.

• Fort Qaitbey - The third stop will be this. he In Alexandria, Egypt, on the Mediterranean Sea the coast, stands the 15th-century defensive fortress known as the Citadel of Qaitbay or the Fort of Qaitbay. In 1477 AD (882 AH), Sultan Al-Ashraf Sayf al-Din Qa’it Bay founded it. The Citadel is located at the mouth of the Eastern Harbour on the eastern edge of Pharos Island’s northern tip.

• Bibliotheca Alexandrina - The world’s largest library, which currently has 8 million Books. Visit its open court to see the statues of Ptolemy the first and Alexander the Great, which were both discovered close underwater. You will go to the President Saddat Museum and the Alexandria Museum of Impressions. Please take note that the Alexandria Library is closed on Fridays, Saturdays, and on legal holidays. You will need to buy a ticket in order to access the reading section.In the end, we will travel back to the beginning location for around 2.5 hours on the highway.
