Resplan
Klockan 7:00 hämtar vi dig från ditt hotell och beger oss direkt till Alexandria, där vi kommer att tillbringa de kommande två och en halv timmarna på att resa med motorväg för att komma till vår startpunkt "Kom El Shoqafa" i Alexandria. Kom El Shoqafa innehåller en samling gravar, statyer och arkeologiska artefakter associerade med de faraoniska begravningsbårhuskulterna och hellenistiska och tidiga kejserliga romerska influenser. På grund av tiden kombinerar många av egenskaperna hos Kom El Shoqafas katakomber romerska, grekiska och egyptiska kulturella punkter; vissa statyer har egyptisk stil men bär romerska kläder och frisyrer, medan andra delar en liknande stil. En cirkulär trappa går ner i gravarna som tunnlade in i berggrunden under de Antoninska kejsarnas regeringstid. (2:a århundradet e.Kr.) Från 200-talet till 300-talet användes byggnaden som en gravkammare innan den återupptäcktes 1900.
Det blir den sekundära attraktionen. Pompejuspelarens moniker är bedräglig. Gaius Pompeius, en romersk general, och konsul, var en rival till Julius Caesar i ett inbördeskrig och mördades av en ptolemaisk farao i 48 f.Kr. när han flydde till Alexandria. Denna enda kolonn, uppflugen på en stenig kulle i centrum av Alexandria, har inget med honom att göra. Korsfarare trodde att hans grav markerades av en 30 meter lång röd Aswangranitpelare, vilket är hur denna berättelse började. Pelaren är ett triumfmonument byggt för den romerske kejsaren Diocletianus år 300 e.Kr. Under besöket kommer platsen att beundras från utsidan, vilket gör det till en idealisk hållplats utan att kräva entréavgifter. Den verkliga betydelsen av denna arkeologiska plats ligger i det som fanns före pelaren: Serapeum, Alexandrias akropol.
Det tredje stoppet blir detta. I Alexandria, Egypten, vid Medelhavet vid kusten, står den defensiva fästningen från 1400-talet känd som Citadel of Qaitbay eller Fortet av Qaitbay. År 1477 AD (882 AH) grundade Sultan Al-Ashraf Sayf al-Din Qa'it Bay den. Citadellet ligger vid mynningen av den östra hamnen på den östra kanten av Pharosöns norra spets.
Vi besöker världens största bibliotek: "Bibliotheca Alexandrina", som för närvarande har 8 miljoner böcker. Besök dess öppna domstol för att se statyer av Ptolemaios den förste och Alexander den store, som båda upptäcktes nära under vattnet. Du kommer att gå till "President Sadat Museum" och "Alexandria Museum of Impressions. Observera att Alexandriabiblioteket är stängt på fredagar och helgdagar. Du måste köpa en biljett för att få tillgång till lässektionen. Slutligen kommer vi att resa till startplatsen i cirka 2,5 timmar på motorvägen.
Den romerska amfiteatern är ett av Alexandrias mest populära monument. Detta är Egyptens näst viktigaste stad, efter huvudstaden Kairo. Medan amfiteatrarna spreds genom olika länder som Grekland, Italien och Turkiet under romarnas regeringstid med många exempel på dessa strukturer som fortfarande finns i många regioner runt om i Europa och Mellanöstern, är den romerska amfiteatern i Alexandria den enda av

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.

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!
