Alexandria

Egypt’s Mediterranean port city is called Alexandria. It was home to a famous library and a lighthouse that was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World during the Hellenistic era. Bibliotheca Alexandrina, a futuristic disc-shaped building, is the library’s current incarnation. Sand beaches, vintage cafes, and Greco-Roman sites are all found in the city. Its seaside Qaitbay Citadel from the fifteenth century is now a museum.

Alexandria tours

Alexandria, Egypt's second city, was founded by Alexander the Great in 331 BC and was the capital of the Ptolemies and Cleopatra. Its sights are mostly from the Greco-Roman and Islamic periods: the Catacombs of Kom El-Shoqafa, Pompey's Pillar and the Serapeum, the Roman theatre at Kom El-Dikka, the Citadel of Qaitbay on the site of the Pharos lighthouse, and the modern Bibliotheca Alexandrina.

Alexandria is about three hours from Cairo by road, so it works as a long day trip or an overnight stop, and its port receives Mediterranean cruise ships. The tours below include day trips from Cairo, shore excursions for cruise passengers and activities in the city.
