Tour Details
This historical tour of the Old downtown of Alexandria, named as such due to being founded by Alexander the Great in 332 B. C, will let you have a chance to encounter the less visited, not as common must see spots, that other regular itineraries won't give you the chance to: a panoramic view of the old eastern city harbor, Saint Mark Cathedral's hidden galleries that not many know about, the biggest and oldest mosque in the city plus an optional local food experience.
start your day with a pick-up from your accommodation in a comfortable vehicle. the car will take you to the first visit of the catacombs of Kom-ElShuqafa. An underground tomb dating back to the 2rd century A. D. then drive to the Pompey's pillar or better known as the Serapeum temple, dating back to the 2nd century B. C. which was primarily dedicated to the ancient main god of Alexandria.From there, moving to the Roman amphitheater, dating back to 3rd century A. D. , a complete Roman Community. the car will whisk you off to a quick visit to the biggest Coptic Orthodox Cathedral in the city. (Saint Marks). you will be driven then to the Library of Alexandria. A modern library which was built close to the old one. Enjoy a visit to the place, have a look at the splendid design of the building, which is admired by many. Enjoy a visit to the library's free modern galleries too. Drive then to the the Qeitbay Fort. An old fort from the 15th century A. D. that was built close to the ancient city's lighthouse location.
