Description

Explore Egypt’s Mediterranean City

Embark on a fascinating trip to discover Alexandria, the historic city on the shores of the Mediterranean. A former cultural capital founded by Alexander the Great, it reflects a rich past where Pharaonic heritage blends with Greek, Roman influences and modern Egyptian life.

Experience the charm of a city with a touch of Oriental Europe, wandering through historic alleys, ancient ruins, and along the captivating seafront.

During the day, you will visit iconic sites such as the famous Alexandria Library, the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, Fort Qaitbay, and the remains of the lost Lighthouse, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

This excursion offers a full immersion into the Mediterranean spirit of Egypt, away from the bustle of Cairo, with a milder climate, unique light, and a peaceful atmosphere.

Between culture, history, and the seaside, Alexandria promises an unforgettable and enriching experience.

Every day from 8:00 to 15:00
