Description

Spend a wonderful day in the beautiful coastal city of Alexandria. The drive from Cairo to Alexandria is about 3 hours through the very good desert road. Once you get to the city, you will start with the Catacombs. This Roman Subterranean tomb goes back to the 1st century A.D.

It shows the great influence of the Egyptian mythology and burial customs over the Romans. Descend 75 feet to see the impressive mixture of both Egyptian and Roman art. After going through the maze and complicated plan of the tomb go upstairs and take a breeze of the Mediterranean when visiting the Fort of Qaitbay.

The fort was built on the island of Pharos where the Great Lighthouse of Alexandria used to stand. Atop of the fort, enjoy the view of the blue sea and the city of Alexandria. Finally, the modern library of Alexandria is a revival of the ancient one built by Ptolmey I.

Explore the different exhibits and the recent technologies in that great center of culture and knowledge. Before driving back to Cairo, do not forget to have fresh seafood for lunch (upon your request). This is the best type of food you can have there.
