Then, explore the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, Egypt’s largest Roman necropolis, consisting of underground tombs and richly decorated burial chambers.
Discover the Bibliotheca of Alexandria, a modern marvel inspired by the ancient library that was a major center of knowledge and research. The new library stands as a beacon of learning, overlooking the Mediterranean.
You'll also visit the Church of St. Mark, one of Africa's oldest churches, and stroll through Alexandria’s historic downtown, with its charming local markets where you can sample traditional Egyptian sweets and treats. Admire the city’s baroque and European-style architecture, and explore the vibrant Mansheya market area, including the traditional ladies' markets and gold market.
The tour includes a visit to the Abbo Elabbas Mosque, the city’s largest and most beautiful mosque, and a glimpse of the nearby old funfair with its vintage rides. Enjoy the scenic Corniche and old harbor, capturing stunning photos of traditional fishing boats and local fishermen.
Conclude your trip with a delicious seafood lunch at a top local restaurant. Afterward, you will be driven back to Cairo, with a rest stop along the way.
