Over deze excursie
Het uitgebreide programma hieronder is in het Engels; de gids spreekt op de dag uw taal.
Alexandria was the capital of Egypt for a thousand years and the largest city of the Greek world. What survives is underground and along the sea, and the city itself, with its cafés and Corniche, is the reward for the early start.
Pickup at 07:00. The desert road brings you to Alexandria by 09:30. First the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, a three-level Roman necropolis of the 2nd century AD cut into the rock, where Egyptian gods wear Roman armour. Next door Pompey's Pillar, the 27 m granite column of Diocletian on the ruins of the Serapeum.
The Roman amphitheatre at Kom El Dikka, the only one in Egypt, with the villa of the birds mosaics, then the Corniche to the Citadel of Qaitbay (1477), built with stones of the Pharos lighthouse on the exact spot where it stood. Lunch is fresh seafood at a restaurant on the harbour.
The afternoon is the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, the 2002 library and its museums, and a stop at the Montaza palace gardens or the Stanley bridge if time allows. Departure 16:30, back in Cairo about 19:30.

Beautiful Alexandria
Such a privilege to be back in Alexandria and to have Mohammed as our guide and Ahmet as our driver. We've covered the major sites of this amazing city today with professionals who have added so very much to our visit. All thanks to both gents.

Alexandria
The driver was able to navigate the roads of Giza and Alexandria to get us to our destination safely. I’m not sure the purpose of going to the library. Look through a fence at the Roman theatre, why didn’t we go inside? Catacombs were very neat but was quick. Why didn’t we get close to the citadel of Qaitbay versus standing…

Une journée bien remplie!
Karim a été un excellent guide. Il nous a proposé un itinéraire qui tenait compte à la fois du trafic et de la chaleur, ce que nous avons particulièrement apprécié. Il nous a communiqué un ensemble d’informations qui a grandement contribué à l’enrichissement de notre expérience. Le repas était délicieux. Nous recommandons!

Gelungene Erstreise nach Alexandria
Was für ein großartiger Tag! 😎 Schon die Fahrt nach Alexandria war absolut entspannt: Ahmed war ein ruhiger, besonnener und ausgesprochen angenehmer Fahrer, der die rund dreistündige Fahrt über die Wüstenautobahn souverän gemeistert hat. Bei ihm hatte man zu keiner Zeit das Gefühl, dass die ägyptischen Verkehrsregeln…
