Greek Roman Alexandria Day Tour from Cairo
Overview of the tour in Cairo
Excursion Cairo will pick you up from your hotel in Cairo or Giza to start your tour to Alexandria, the second-largest city in Egypt, the capital of Egypt for nearly one thousand years. Alexandria was founded by Alexander the Great and has an atmosphere that is more Mediterranean than Middle Eastern, famous for its Roman remains. Drive along the Cornish to see the whole city, passing over the bridge of Stanly, the unknown soldier of Alexandria, and the statue of Alexander the Great.
Your first stop in this historic city is the catacombs, the largest Roman Cemetery consisting of three levels cut in the rock dating from the 1st or 2nd century. Then to Pompey's Pillar, a 26.85m granite column built to honor Emperor Diocletian, and to the citadel of Qaitbay which was built on the site of the ancient pharaohs of Alexandria with a nice view of the sea. After that, you can visit the famous Alexandria Library and St Mark Church, the oldest church in all of Africa.
There is also an optional stop to try Seafood before we drive back to Cairo to your hotel.
