Your Egyptologist guide will accompany you to Alexandria by a modern car about 2 hours driving and we will stop for a break on the way where you can toilet and drink something or even stretch your legs.

First, you will visit Pompey’s Pillar, the only remaining pillar from the Roman temple known anciently as the Serapeum, then you will move to The Citadel of Qaitbay, built by the Mamluk rulers to fortify the Mediterranean seacoast against the Ottomans, on the same spot where Alexandria’s ancient lighthouse once stood one of the seven wonders of the ancient world that no longer exist. After that you will visit the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, the largest Roman cemetery in Egypt consists of three layers of tombs and chambers cut out of the rock under the ground and the beautifully decorated burial of a rich romanized Egyptian family.

We will take you to pass through the oldest market area in Mansheya and see the traditional ladies' markets (zan'et elsetat) with very thin and narrow streets. The gold market also exists here where everyone buys their wedding and engagement jewelry. The car will then take you to visit the prettiest and biggest mosque in the city, the Abbo Elabbas Mosque, and the strangest sight outside it, an old funfair where children play on very antique funfair rides and eat candy floss. The opposite is the corniche and the old harbor where you can see the old fishing boats, men fishing, and traditional fishermen making nets. The photos taken here are amazing.
