Instead of leaving the city to view other attractions across Egypt.

Alexandria itself has so much to offer and warrants an entire day tour to see them. On this Alexandria tour you’ll get to see the full grandeur of Alexandria including the absolutely breathtaking Qaitbay Citadel, fantastic Montazah Palace, and also the Catacomb of Kom El-Shoqafa, Roman burial sight whose family tomb reveals the merging of Egyptian & Roman architecture art.

There is Pompey Pillar which is 25 meter granite column dedicated to Emperor Diocletian. These sights and attractions are all available on the day tour and the tour guide will lead you to each – explaining about the extensive history behind them and taking you on to more afterwards.

Another stop along your journey through Alexandria is the Alexandria New Library – a famous library that contains absolutely every book published in the world!
