After arriving in Alexandria in the morning, we will start our tour with visits to...
Catacombs
The catacombs in Kom El Shoqafa were built in the Roman era. They have three levels and their decoration shows a juxtaposition of the Egyptian and Roman panthea.
Roman Theater
The Roman Theater in Alexandria behind the Street of Facades is the theater that was built by the Nabataeans at the beginning of the first century AD and the Romans expanded and improved it shortly after their annexation of the kingdom in 106 AD. They built it by ruthlessly dividing a street of houses or tombs to widen the rear of the hall, which could then accommodate 3,000 people.
Alexandria Library
We will visit the new Library of Alexandria, whose design refers to the god Amun-Ra and the Lighthouse of Alexandria. In addition to several libraries, there is a planetarium, three museums, a laboratory, and a printing press.
Note: The library is closed on Friday and Saturday (it is visible from the outside only).
Abu al-Abbas Mosque
We will also pass the beautiful Abu al-Abbas al-Mursi Mosque, an architectural marvel constructed between 1929-1945 and influenced by the buildings of ancient Egypt in Cairo.
Lunch
After midday, we will take a break and have lunch in a restaurant overlooking the Mediterranean, to replenish our energy. The meal usually consists of Egyptian dishes and options include meat dishes, rice, and salads (drinks not included)
Qaitbay Citadel
From the outside, we will also see the Citadel of Qaitbay built on the site of the ancient pharaohs (Light House) in Alexandria, a defensive fortress built in 1480 by Ashraf Abu al-Nasr, Seif al-Din Qaitbay, who became a slave. Sultan.
