Enjoy a full-day private tour to Alexandria by car, where ancient history and Mediterranean charm meet. Founded by Alexander the Great, Alexandria is Egypt’s second-largest city and a cultural treasure on the northern coast. This carefully designed tour takes you through some of the city’s most remarkable landmarks, including the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, the fascinating blend of Pharaonic and Greco-Roman traditions; the Roman Amphitheatre, a rare archaeological gem; and the exterior of the modern Bibliotheca Alexandrina, a tribute to the ancient library of Alexandria.
You will also explore the Qaitbay Citadel, a medieval fortress built on the site of the legendary Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Throughout the journey, your private Egyptologist guide will share stories of the city’s past, from its Hellenistic origins to its vibrant modern identity. With comfortable round-trip transport in an air-conditioned vehicle, this tour provides a relaxing yet enriching escape to one of Egypt’s most captivating cities.
Begin your day with a morning pickup from your hotel in Cairo. Travel north in a private air-conditioned vehicle, enjoying views of the Egyptian countryside during the 3-hour drive to Alexandria. Upon arrival, your exploration starts with the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, an underground burial site that combines ancient Egyptian and Greco-Roman art and architecture. Continue to the Roman Amphitheatre, one of the few of its kind in Egypt, offering a glimpse into the city’s Roman past. Next, visit the Qaitbay Citadel, a 15th-century fortress built on the exact location of the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria, once considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Admire the panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea from its walls. Afterward, head to the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, an architectural masterpiece and cultural center that revives the legacy of the ancient library. End your tour with a relaxing stroll along the Corniche, where you can take in the sea breeze and local atmosphere.
