Our knowledgeable guide will meet you at your Alexandria hotel in a private, air-conditioned vehicle and take you on all of your excursions, beginning with a memorable tour of the Library of Alexandria, also called the Great Library or the Royal Library of Alexandria. Constructed by Ptolemy I, it was the biggest library of its time. Alexander the Great is credited with founding it some 23 centuries before Ptolemy II, who did so in the early third century BC.
Next, we continue our journey to the Qaitbay Citadel, which is situated on the remains of one of the Seven Wonders of the World and is situated at the point of Pharos Island, near El Sayyala, in the district of El Gomrok, at the western end of Alexandria. It is the antique Alexandrian lighthouse. Sultan Al-Ashraf, King Abu Al-Nasr Qaitbay Al-Mahmoudi, constructed this castle between 882 and 1477.
We shall next proceed to Kom el Shoqafa's tombs. Situated in the West Alexandria neighborhood of the Karmouz district, the Kom el Shoqafa cemetery is one of the most significant in the city and dates back to the second century AD. The area got its name from the large number of pottery remains and crushers that accumulated there.
Last but not least, we must explore the Pompay Column, which was built in the third century AD in honor of Emperor Diocletian and is the only surviving artifact from Emperor Postumus' Temple of Serapeum. The column's body is one piece.
Before finishing your excursions, you will have the opportunity to taste the delicious Alexandrian fish in one of the local restaurants of the city. Finally, we will drop you off at your Alexandria hotel.
