Itinerario
A las 7:00 horas os recogeremos en vuestro hotel y nos dirigiremos directamente a Alejandría, donde pasaremos las siguientes dos horas y media viajando por autopista hasta llegar a nuestro punto de partida "Kom El Shoqafa" en Alejandría. Kom El Shoqafa contiene una colección de tumbas, estatuas y artefactos arqueológicos asociados con los cultos funerarios faraónicos y las influencias helenísticas y romanas imperiales tempranas. Debido a la época, muchas de las características de las catacumbas de Kom El Shoqafa combinan puntos culturales romanos, griegos y egipcios; algunas estatuas son de estilo egipcio pero visten ropas y peinados romanos, mientras que otras comparten un estilo similar. Una escalera circular desciende a las tumbas excavadas en el lecho de roca durante el reinado de los emperadores Antoninos. (Siglo II d.C.) Del siglo II al IV, el edificio sirvió como cámara funeraria antes de ser redescubierto en 1900.
Será la atracción secundaria. El apodo del pilar Pompeyo es engañoso. Cayo Pompeyo, un general romano, y cónsul, fue rival de Julio César en una guerra civil y fue asesinado por un faraón ptolemaico en 48 a. C. cuando escapaba a Alejandría. Esta sola columna, encaramada en una colina rocosa en el centro de Alejandría, no tiene nada que ver con él. Los cruzados creían que su tumba estaba marcada por un pilar de granito rojo de Asuán de 30 metros, que es como comenzó esta historia. El pilar es un monumento triunfal construido para el emperador romano Diocleciano en el año 300 d.C. Durante la visita, el sitio será admirado solo desde el exterior, por lo que es una parada ideal sin requerir tarifas de entrada. La verdadera importancia de este sitio arqueológico radica en lo que estaba antes del pilar: el Serapeum, la acrópolis de Alejandría.
La tercera parada será esta. En Alejandría, Egipto, en la costa del Mar Mediterráneo, se encuentra la fortaleza defensiva del siglo XV conocida como la Ciudadela de Qaitbay o el Fuerte de Qaitbay. En 1477 d. C. (882 AH), el sultán Al-Ashraf Sayf al-Din Qa'it Bay lo fundó. La Ciudadela está ubicada en la desembocadura del Puerto Oriental en el extremo oriental del extremo norte de la isla Pharos.
Visitaremos la biblioteca más grande del mundo: "Bibliotheca Alexandrina", que actualmente cuenta con 8 millones de Libros. Visita su patio abierto para ver las estatuas de Ptolomeo el Primero y Alejandro Magno, que fueron descubiertas cerca bajo el agua. Irás al "Museo Presidente Sadat" y al "Museo de las Impresiones de Alexander. La biblioteca de Alejandría cierra los viernes y los días festivos. Tendrás que comprar una entrada para acceder a la sección de lectura. Finalmente, viajaremos al lugar de inicio durante aproximadamente 2,5 horas en la autopista.
El Anfiteatro Romano es uno de los monumentos más populares de Alejandría. Esta es la segunda ciudad más importante de Egipto, después de la capital, El Cairo. Si bien los anfiteatros se extendieron por diferentes países como Grecia, Italia y Turquía durante el reinado de los romanos, con muchos ejemplos de estas estructuras todavía presentes en muchas regiones de Europa y Medio Oriente, el Anfiteatro Romano de Alejandría es el único de

Speedy transportation. Great food. Amazing historical sites. Alexandria is a beautiful coastal city!
Thank you for your kind review! We’re delighted you had a great experience with us. It was a pleasure having you, and we look forward to welcoming you again in the future.
The coastline for Alexandria is stunning. Outside of that, its probably my least favorite place in Egypt. There is more tombs to visit, but nothing overly captivating. The citadel was the nicest thing to see. We had lunch included in our tour and the restaurant we went to was pure chaos. It also didn't help that no one knew what was going on. The driver and the guides were great and tried to make us very comfortable. Mahmoud made a lasting impression on parents - so much so that they asked for him to take them around the following day. Nona was sweet and gentle with both my parents as well.

This tour delivers as advertised The driver was prompt at my downtown hotel which was not on the list and did a great job of negotiating Egyptian traffic for the day The guide “Ella” who has a background in archaeology and tourist guide did a wonderful job in presenting the details and background stories on the catacombs, Pompey’s pillar, ancient Roman theatre, the library of Alexandria, Qaitbay Cidadel and providing a fresh fish lunch on the coast Both were extremely friendly and informative I had a wonderful day and hope those reading this have the good fortune to share a day with this tour

Our driver and guide were both warm, friendly and responsive to our requests and their English was exceptional. It was a long day and we saw so much. Our guide was emerging as a guide and I would suggest that she improve her knowledge of the sites, but I really liked her and I know her knowledge will improve. I'm glad I went to Alexandria to experience it's wonders.

I had an excellent experience with my guide Eslam in Alexandria, Egypt. He was knowledgeable, well-organized, and explained the city’s history in a clear and engaging way. The tour covered the most important landmarks, including the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, Qaitbay Citadel, and the beautiful Mediterranean Corniche, without feeling rushed. He also shared useful local tips that made the visit much more enjoyable. We stopped at a fantastic seafood restaurant known for its fresh fish and traditional Alexandrian flavors. The food was high quality, well-prepared, and truly reflected the local cuisine. The driver was extremely careful and diligent, always punctual and respectful, which made the entire trip feel safe and comfortable. Overall, this was a smooth, memorable experience and a great way to discover Alexandria. I highly recommend this guide and service to any tourist visiting the city.

We had a wonderful day trip to Alexandria thanks to our guide Alaa, Gaber. From the moment we arrived from Cairo, she was warm, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable, making the long day (11:00 am–5:30 pm) both enjoyable and enriching. The tour covered five key sites that beautifully intertwine Alexandria’s layered history, including the area surrounding the legendary Library of Alexandria, the Citadel, the Catacombs, the Roman Amphitheatre, and Pompey’s Pillar. Despite the seasonal crowds, Alaa explained interesting facts on each site clearly and thoughtfully, sharing all the important details without overwhelming us. As an archaeology graduate from Alexandria University, her passion and expertise truly stood out. She also gave us plenty of free time to explore, take photos, and enjoy each location at our own pace, while patiently answering every question from our family of four adults. The day ended perfectly with a seafood meal, which was the option we chose. Alaa was very considerate in asking about our preferences and made local food recommendations, allowing us to enjoy Alexandria’s seafood and local menu to the fullest. A well-organised, informative, and enjoyable tour—highly recommended!

We had a good time in Alexandria, the drive was smooth and our tour guide Mr. Eslam showed us all the attractions and explained the history very well, he is veey polite and knowledgeable and gave us a very good experience of the city. Our pickup was delayed due to a critical emergency from the previous driver but the tour company arranged for another driver and made sure we had a comfortable trip and as a compensation they arranged for a awesome lunch for us, we are very happy with the hospitality.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed Alexandria. We appreciate your kind words about Mr. Eslam. He takes pride in his work and values clear history and respectful service. We apologize for the pickup delay. Your understanding helped us act fast and arrange an alternative driver. We are happy the lunch made the day better. Your comfort matters to us. Your review helps us improve and motivates our team. We look forward to welcoming you again in Egypt. Omar Egypt Tours Gateway
Eslam, my tour guide, shared fascinating insights about Alexandria’s history, and I learned so much thanks to his knowledge and kind personality. And Momen Abozaid, the tour driver, was equally also very kind, punctual, and made the journey comfortable.

Christina was a great guide. She took enough time and we were able to explore the main sights in all rue. The palace, the citadel and the library of Alexandria must not be missed. I can recommend this tour to anyone, Alexandria is so different and you can literally feel it. If you have enough time, you should also take a short dip down to the sea and enjoy the sound of the sea. I found the time in Alexandria really nice.

We had a wonderful time visiting the city of Alexandria with our guide Eslam. He made the trip perfect with his extensive knowledge of the city, fluent English and overall kindness. Towards the end of the tour, we were in a slight rush and he was still able to let us see and learn about all the amazing sights. Each stop was amazing and had their own special highlights: the catacombs, roman theater, library and citadel all along with the beautiful Mediterranean Sea. I'd highly recommend including lunch because of the delicious fresh seafood options. Highly recommended with Eslam!
