Alexandria Day Tour

One of the best experiences you may have in Egypt is the one-day tour to the city of Alexandria. The city was the capital of Egypt since the Greek era 331 BC till the Arabs came to Egypt 641 AD passing by the Roman Empire in Egypt. The city, for about 900, years acted as the main spot of culture and science in the Mediterranean region. It got its name after its founder, Alexander the Great.

There you will enjoy the peace of mind when you see the blue waves of the Mediterranean Sea. In addition, you will be dazzled by the attractions of the city starting by the visit to the Catacombs which for many travelers were among the wonders of the ancient world. There are rock-cut tombs discovered accidently by a horse carriage rider.

Then we move to the next site which is the mistakenly named, Pillar of Pompey which is the biggest monolithic granite pillar in the whole world.

Later on, you will have the chance to visit the modern Library of Alexandria which houses millions of books, manuscripts and even historical museums. Its design, upon construction, won the prize of the best design in the whole world.

End up your day with an unforgotten lunch in a unique restaurant overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.
