Your private Alexandria tour departs from the Port of Alexandria or your hotel after the meeting with your guide.
Head underground to take a guided tour of the Roman catacombs – the largest known Roman burial site in Egypt, which consists of three tiers of tombs and chambers. Constructed in the 2nd century A.D., probably for one family, they were later expanded to three levels cut 90 feet deep into existing rock. They now merge Roman, Greek, and Egyptian cultural aspects in their design and decoration.
Visit the new Bibliotheca Alexandrina, then Montazah palace and gardens, Pompey’s Pillar, The Roman Theater.
Experience the outside view of the fortress of Quitbay which is in the same place as The Lighthouse of Alexandria was.
Your next stop will be at the famous bridge of Stanley – one of the landmarks of modern Alexandria.
At the end of the tour, you will drive on the cornice back to the Cruise Port or your hotel.
