Alexandria Egypt Tour from Cairo
Overview
Epic Alexandria Coastal Day Trip
Escape the crazy Cairo traffic for a full-day road trip to Alexandria, Egypt’s gorgeous Mediterranean jewel. You will cruise for about three hours down the desert road to reach a city where ancient Roman history meets awesome ocean vibes. Kick things off by heading 75 feet underground into the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, a wild 1st-century tomb complex where ancient Egyptian styles blend with Roman art.
Next, grab some fresh ocean air at Qaitbay Fort, a massive stone castle built right on the ruins of the legendary ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria, and soak in epic views of the bright blue sea. After a relaxed lunch featuring fresh-caught Mediterranean seafood, you will check out the ultra-modern Bibliotheca Alexandrina library to tour its cool museums and giant reading halls. Finish up with a lazy stroll along the beachside Corniche boardwalk before heading back to Cairo in the evening. It is the ultimate one-day coastal escape!
