Early in the morning we will leave your hotel in Cairo towards Alexandria, the most important Mediterranean city in Egypt.
We will begin by touring the Alexandria port to visit the Citadel of Qaitibay. This defensive complex was built in the 15th century by Sultan Qaitibay, right in the same place where the famous Lighthouse of Alexandria stood. Several earthquakes destroyed the watchtower, whose remains were used to build the Citadel.
Next we will move to the south of the city, where we will access the Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa. The bas-reliefs at the site, one of the most notable in Alexandria, show the fusion between Egyptian and Greco-Roman culture. We will enter its three different levels to see the passages, tunnels and galleries along which the tombs of the necropolis are distributed. Very close to these catacombs we will find Pompey's Column, located in the place where the temple dedicated to the Greek-Egyptian god Serapis was located.
Afterwards we will enjoy lunch in Alexandria at a high-quality restaurant.
In the afternoon, we will visit one of the most important modern buildings in the city: the New Library of Alexandria. Emerged as a tribute to the ancient space that gathered thousands of papyri and parchments, this contemporary building reopened in 2002 constitutes one of the most important cultural spaces in the eastern Mediterranean.
In the late afternoon we will finally return to your hotel in Cairo.
