OVERVIEW
We will pick you up from your hotel in Cairo to enjoy an amazing day trip to Alexandria from Cairo. First, visit Pompey's Pillar. It was constructed in honor of Emperor Diocletian at the end of the 4th century. Originally from the temple of the Serapis, it was once a magnificent structure rivaling the Soma and the Caesarean. Then drive to visit the Catacombs, which are the largest Roman cemetery consisting of three levels cut in the rock, then proceed to see the Qaitbay Citadel, which was built on the site of the ancient pharaohs (lighthouse) of Alexandria, then to Bibliotheca Alexandria. Finally, you will be transferred back to your hotel in Cairo.
