Your adventure begins with an early morning pickup from your hotel in Cairo or Giza, where you will meet your professional Egyptologist guide and driver. You will travel comfortably in a private air-conditioned vehicle along the desert road to Alexandria, enjoying views of the Egyptian countryside along the way.

This fascinating underground complex combines Egyptian, Greek, and Roman architectural styles, offering a unique glimpse into the multicultural history of ancient Alexandria.

Next, you will visit the impressive Qaitbay Citadel, built on the site of the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Standing proudly on the Mediterranean coast, the citadel offers breathtaking views of the sea and serves as a reminder of Alexandria’s strategic importance throughout history.

During the tour, you will also enjoy a relaxing stroll along the Corniche, Alexandria’s scenic waterfront promenade. Here, you can feel the refreshing Mediterranean breeze and capture beautiful photos of the coastline, fishing boats, and city skyline.

Optional stops for lunch at a local seafood restaurant can be arranged, where you can taste fresh Mediterranean dishes while enjoying sea views.
