Private day excursion to Alexandria | Points of Interest & Landmarks

Although the glorious past of Alexandria has somehow been lost, there are several remains from those times.

Your first stop will be the Catacombs of Kom El Shokafa. This place is considered the largest Roman cemetery and consists of 3 levels cut into rock. Followed by the catacombs, you will move to Pompey’s Pillar for a photo stop. This is the largest memorial column in Egypt. Thereafter, we will move the Roman Amphitheater, which used to host up to 600 spectators. The audience section of the Roman Amphitheater has a diameter of about 33 meters and consists of 13 rows.

The next stop will be the Library of Alexandria. This wonderful cultural and scientific center is the biggest library in the whole world, and hosts a vast collection of literature about civilization, sciences, and arts which attract scholars from all over the world. Thereafter, we will move to the Citadel of Qaitbay, built upon the ruins of the towering old Pharos lighthouse.

On the last part of your private Alexandria tour from Cairo, you will visit St. Mark church and Abbo Elabbas Mosque.
