A private day trip from Cairo allows you to discover the beauty and rich history of Alexandria. You will enjoy a comfortable ride to the stunning Mediterranean coastal city in an air-conditioned vehicle. Kom El Shoqafa Catacombs, an underground necropolis with Pharaonic, Greek, and Roman relics, is your first stop. Afterward, stand in front of the imposing Pompey's Pillar, a massive Roman column that is a marker of the ancient glory of Alexandria.

Then admire the Citadel of Qaitbay, a 15th-century fortress built on the very site of the much-diminished Lighthouse of Alexandria. From here, there are breathtaking views of the Mediterranean using the opportunity to visit the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, a modern wonder of architecture honoring the ancient Library of Alexandria.

A delicious seafood lunch is included at a local restaurant before you take an exhilarating walk along the Corniche while absorbing the city's vibrant culture. The last stop is visiting the gorgeous Montaza Palace Gardens, a calm oasis filled with greenery and royal palaces.
