Alexandria Private Full-Day Tour from Cairo with Egyptologist

Travel north to the coastal city of Alexandria. It's a private tour and the itinerary can be tailored to suit you. The second largest city in Egypt. As well as its relaxed Mediterranean atmosphere and setting, discover how it’s famous for its Greco-Roman ruins, having been founded by Alexander the Great in 312 BC. Visit the Roman burial catacombs of Kom ash-Shuqqafa to see their carvings and sculptures — all displaying ancient Pharaonic and Roman influences — and visit the Hall of Caracalla, where the bones of massacred Christian soldier were found. View Pompey's Pillar, an 82-foot (25-meter) column dedicated to the Emperor Diocletian who freed the besieged city and brought food to its starving residents. After an included lunch, tour Alexandria’s must-see modern landmark — the spectacular city library. Shaped like a giant, angled disc, this incredible piece of architecture was completed in 2002.
