Explore Alexandria Highlights from Cairo
Your coastal adventure begins with an early morning pickup from your accommodation in Cairo or Giza in a private, air-conditioned vehicle. Leaving the desert behind, you will drive toward the Mediterranean coast to arrive at the Montazah Summer Palace. Here, you can stroll through the expansive, beautifully manicured palace gardens, which once served as the exclusive summer retreat for the Egyptian royal family.
Next, your private guide will take you to the magnificent Graeco-Roman Museum, a premier cultural destination that has recently reopened its doors to the public after a massive 20-year restoration. The museum houses an incredible collection of over 40,000 valuable relics dating back to the 3rd century BC, including its crowning masterpiece: three masterfully carved heads of Alexander the Great. You will then drive to Pompey’s Pillar, a colossal triumphal column constructed in 297 AD to honor the Roman Emperor Diocletian. After a morning steeped in history, you will take a break to enjoy a delicious, authentic seafood lunch at a highly acclaimed local restaurant right by the Mediterranean.
Following lunch, you will visit the spectacular Citadel of Qaitbay. This historic 15th-century fortress was built directly upon the foundations of the legendary Pharos Lighthouse, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Your final stop of the day is the fascinating Catacombs of Kom El-Shokafa. Tunneled deep into the bedrock during the reign of the Antonine emperors in the 2nd century AD, these multi-level tombs blend Egyptian, Greek, and Roman architectural styles and represent the last major construction ever built for the ancient Egyptian religion. After an unforgettable day of coastal exploration, your private driver will transfer you comfortably back to your accommodation in Cairo or Giza.
Later, you will be driven back to your hotel in Cairo.
