Overnight Tour to Alexandria from Cairo

Upon arrival in Alexandria, we begin our exploration with a visit to the renowned Pompey’s Pillar. This architectural marvel stands at the heart of the remnants of the Alexandrian Serapeum, a grand temple constructed during the Greek era in Egypt. Built predominantly during the Ptolemaic kingdom, the temple was dedicated to the god Serapis, believed to be the guardian of Alexandria.

Next, we proceed to the magnificent Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, one of the largest Roman catacombs. Originally carved for Pharaonic purposes and later romanized, these catacombs were in use until the late 4th century A.D before being abandoned. Descend the cylindrical water well staircase, approximately six meters in diameter and ten meters deep, to explore the three floors of catacombs.

Following the exhilarating historical excursions, we head to the main corniche street overlooking the Mediterranean Sea for a delightful seafood lunch. Indulge in a mouthwatering meal at one of Alexandria’s finest seafood restaurants, accompanied by refreshing lemon mint juice. As you dine, savor the panoramic view of the old harbor. Afterward, we transfer you to your hotel for check-in and overnight stay.

If you desire an evening adventure, our private tour guide is available to accompany you for a leisurely stroll and an opportunity to sample Alexandria’s famous desserts.
